When to go



In general, the coolest and least rainy period in Puerto Rico runs from December to March, which is also outside of the hurricane season.
More in detail, a better period can be distinguished depending on the zones: since it is generally the least rainy periods, the best time is February-March along the north and east coasts, and from December to March along the south and west coasts.
In April, there is already a certain increase in rainfall, especially in inland areas, while the rains on the southern coast are still quite rare.
In summer, the heat is sweltering and rainfall is frequent, although it generally occurs in the form of downpours and thunderstorms that do not last long, so after a while, they give way to the sun. However, there is some risk of tropical storms and hurricanes.
If you want to visit Puerto Rico in summer, you may prefer the south coast, which is less rainy, especially in June and July, when there is a certain decrease in precipitation, in addition, the risk of hurricanes in these months is lower than in August.
The Americans have introduced the habit of using air conditioning, so the temperature inside buildings is often much lower than outdoors: it can be useful to bring some warmer clothes, at least for those who are sensitive to cold.

What to pack



From December to April: bring light clothes, and a sweatshirt for the evening.
From May to November: bring tropics-friendly, lightweight clothing, and possibly a light sweatshirt and a light raincoat for thunderstorms. Add a light sweatshirt and a pashmina for airconditioned places.
