What is the percentage of Hurricanes that hit the Dominican Republic during the month of October?

Question

I am vacationing there in October and want to know what my chances are of not running into a Hurricane?

Answer 1

The Caribbean hurricane season lasts from June to end November. August and September are the months when most hurricanes have hit and these affect the south and east coast primarily. In the rare instance when a hurricane comes over the island, because the north coast is sheltered by two mountain ranges, it is usually downgraded to a tropical storm, only resuming hurricane strength when it reaches the open seas.
