Puerto Rico is located in Central America. The country is washed by the Caribbean Sea. Puerto Rico - has a fairly long coastline. To determine the temperature of the water in it, we track 35 settlements and resorts.

Tropical trade wind, warm and very even. The average monthly temperature during the year varies slightly - from + 22-24 C in the winter to + 28-29 C in the summer. Daily changes in temperature are also weak, but in the mountainous areas it can be cool at night. The temperature in the southern regions is usually somewhat warmer than in the north, and in the central mountainous municipalities it is always noticeably cooler than on the coast. Precipitation falls from 800 to 2500 mm per year, and their distribution is rather uneven - the areas around El Yunke peak receive up to 2000 mm of rain per year, while the southwestern regions do not exceed 850 mm. Hurricanes are so common in Puerto Rico that the English word «hurricane» itself is believed to be derived from the name of the god of evil in Taino mythology - Huracan.Powerful atmospheric vortices roll over the territory of the country from May to November. The weather during this period is quite hot, very humid and windy (the wind speed on the periphery of a typhoon can reach 150 km134h).
