Puerto Rico Weather: 02-22-2026

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Puerto Rico Weather Podcast — it's Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, we're waking up to 72 degrees under clear skies, but the island's playing favorites today. The south is cranking up the heat while the west stays calm and San Juan gets a late-day splash. Metro San Juan starts sunny, but keep an eye on the clock. Between 6 P.M. And 8 P.M., isolated showers roll through. You'll hit 83 degrees right around noon. Winds gust to 15 miles an hour by 11 A.M., so lock down those patio chairs. Now head south and it's a different beast. Temperatures soar to 90 degrees by 1 P.M. — that's full-on summer territory. Scattered showers show up from 3 P.M. To 5 P.M., peaking around 40 percent at 3 P.M. Gusts hit 15 miles an hour midmorning. It's hot, humid. And a little moody down there. Over in the west, you're getting the calm side of the story. Highs reach 87 degrees around 1 P.M. No rain, just steady east winds at 6 miles an hour. If you're planning outdoor time, this is your zone. Monday brings scattered showers islandwide. By Wednesday, thunderstorms fire up in the west as a frontal boundary settles in. That unsettled pattern sticks around through Friday. Saturday finally dries out, but breezy east winds hang on. Beach heads-up: moderate rip current risk today along north and east-facing beaches. Wednesday brings a long-period swell with life-threatening conditions. Stay sharp if you're near the water. Sunrise at 6:49 A.M., sunset at 6:29 P.M. — we're gaining daylight. Air quality is excellent, perfect for getting outside. Quick favor — if this forecast helped you plan your day, share it with a friend who could use the heads-up. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
