✳ What will the weather be like?
Punta Cana in late May is beautifully warm and tropical! Expect plenty of sunshine with daytime highs in the mid to upper 80s°F (around 29–31°C) and warm evenings in the 70s°F (around 24–26°C). While May marks the beginning of the rainy season, showers are typically brief and pass quickly—perfect for cooling off before the sun returns.
