Don't.
I just got home after three weeks in Domenican Republic and it was HOT.
We were the last flight back to Sweden since it's getting *to* hot for us and
now it's much nicer for us to go to Greece instead and then it's only three
hours flight instead of ten to DR.
It was quite a few Canadians there and one asked us what the SWE my wife
and I have tatooed on our upper right arm means and sugested South West
England......hmmmm.....
I think even Canada is ending its season down there now due to the warmth.
It was about 95F in the shadow and about 100F in the water and it's getting
even warmer. One day when it was "only" 77F it was warmer in the water.
