Puerto Rico's climate


After a small couple surf sessions @ Maria's and parking lots. I am "surfing" the web and wanted to check out the climate in PR. Our backyard has inspired me to check this out because when it's dry our overgrowth will HOPEFULLY DIE. Eliminating the misquitoes, yeaaaaaaa!! In this tropical paradise we get a rainy season from April to November. Dry season November to April. We get some East trade winds, they are such a relief. The weather here is not as predictable as it is in New Jersey. When you see those big cumulonimbus clouds in the distance you can expect some thunderstorms later. Or when the sky get's all dark & gloomy you know what to expect. Not here, no way, We get clouds, then it's windy and looks like it's going to downpour. They dissapear and the sun shines bright. Or we get mean, monster dark clouds and it downpours for 10 minutes then stops. Unpredictable. Because of the moutains and hills the weather is shifted and pushed and changed and changed again. The poor weather guys in PR. Ha. The difference between winter and summer is a whopping 6° change. Average temp is 82°, it's really humid, bad for curly hair. Tsunamis are a threat here too! We get small earthquakes thanks to the Puerto Rican Fault. It's the deepest part of the Atlantic. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Maps/PR10/13.23.-71.-61.php
