Dominica's Topography
Geographically, Dominica is part of the Leeward Islands, though historically it has been grouped with the Windward Islands. The landscape includes volcanic peaks, mountain streams and rivers, dense forests, quiet lakes, waterfalls, geysers, and boiling volcanic pools. There are beaches of both volcanic black and golden sands.
Dominica's weather year around
Daytime temperatures stay between 75°F and 85°F virtually all year long, but it can get a bit chillier in the early morning and at night. Trade winds blow in and keep the air comfortable. The heart of hurricane season lasts from late August to early November, though strikes are rare and there is plenty of advance notice to prepare. When threatened by a hurricane strike, one should expect a 2-day displacement from evacuation to safe return.
