Editing Santo Domingo (section)

===Climate===
The average temperature in Santo Domingo varies little, because the [[Tropics|tropical]] [[trade wind]]s help mitigate the heat and humidity throughout the year. Thanks to these trade winds, Santo Domingo has a borderline [[tropical rainforest climate|tropical rainforest]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Af'')/[[tropical monsoon climate]] (''Am''), as its driest month is very close to {{convert|60|mm|in|sp=us}}. However, the city seldom experiences the heat that one may expect to find. December through March are the coolest months with warm days with less humidity and cool nights (temperatures of {{convert|17|to|19|C|F|abbr=on}}). July through September are the hottest. Santo Domingo averages {{convert|1445|mm|in|sp=us}} of rain annually. Its driest months are from December through April; however, due to the trade winds and mountains to the southwest, rain is seen even during these months.

Like many other cities in the [[Caribbean]], Santo Domingo is very susceptible to hurricanes. [[Hurricane Georges]] caused severe destruction in September 1998. The lowest recorded temperature has been {{convert|11.0|C|F}} on 5 February 1951 and 7 January 1957 and the highest is {{convert|39.5|C|F}} on 29 May 2002.<ref name=records>{{cite web |first1=Mariela |last1=Mejía |url=http://www.diariolibre.com/noticias/2011/01/07/i274915_frio-extremo-calor-agobiante.html |title=Frío extremo, calor agobiante |publisher=Diario Libre |language=es |date=7 January 2011 |access-date=2 May 2017 |archive-date=4 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131104214132/http://www.diariolibre.com/noticias/2011/01/07/i274915_frio-extremo-calor-agobiante.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
