The climate of San Juan (Puerto Rico)
San Juan is the largest and most important city in Puerto Rico. The capital of the island has a population of about 500,000. San Juan has the highest concentration of white inhabitants in the Caribbean. About three quarters of the population of San Juan is Caucasian. This is caused by the many immigrants that came from Spain in the past. San Juan has a tropical monsoon climate (type Am according to the Köppen climate classification) with warm weather and precipitation all year round. The only reason the climate of San Juan cannot be classified as a tropical rainforest climate is because the driest months get less than 60 millimeters of precipitation. In total San Juan gets 1,289 millimeters of annual precipitation quite evenly spread out over the year. From January till March precipitation figures are slightly lower.

During the winter daytime temperatures are 28 degrees Celsius (82.4 degrees Fahrenheit), during the summer daytime temperatures are 31 degrees Celsius (87.8 degrees Fahrenheit). Large deviations in temperatures are uncommon. The highest temperatures that may occur are 36-37 degrees Celsius (96.8-98.6 degrees Fahrenheit). Minimum temperatures are between 22-25 degrees Celsius (71.6-77.0 degrees Fahrenheit). These figures are also fairly constant, because temperatures lower than 16 degrees Celsius (60.8 degrees Fahrenheit) during the winter and lower than 21 degrees Celsius (69.8 degrees Fahrenheit) during the summer are uncommon. High temperatures in combination with high precipitation figures cause high humidity figures which may cause things to feel muggy. However, because of an ever blowing sea breeze this effect is slightly tempered.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:

	chance of (very) hot weather	chance of (very) cool weather	chance of long-term precipitation	chance of hurricanes (cyclones)	chance of sunny days	UV-index
