Weather in dominican republic, i am considering travelling to the caribbean in may 08,?

Local travel agents will tell you anything, however i have heard that may is hot on all the brouchers i have received, but want to find out first hand. there is a difference between hot tempretures and actually sunshine, they could just be counting the humitity and i dont want to fly 3000 miles for steam. any help or first hand knowledge???
Answer
Average temperature : 26 degrees celsius average humidity : 62% average rain : max 15 min/day the best region is the north coast (puerto plata) because you will have 85% of the time a small breeze from the atlantic ocean so the temperature is excellent at very nice for tanning at the beautifull beaches. town is 15 min away by bus (called gua-gua, price 15 pesos/p.p.) ocean world, isabella de torre 9 cable car) and so many things more to do and discover. hope you enjoy it!
