Is August-September a good time to travel to Puerto Rico? How is the weather during this time of year?

Puerto Rico has a stable climate that varies little throughout the year, although August and September are usually among the rainiest months with more than 6 inches falling in San Juan over 18 or 20 days. The north coast, where San Juan is located, is usually wetter than the south coast and, naturally, the average temperature is cooler the higher you get.

Those months fall within hurricane season, and Puerto Rico is sometimes affected by such storms. For a discussion of hurricanes and Puerto Rico's weather, consult the book "Adventure Guide to Puerto Rico," by Harry S. Pariser (Hunter Publishing, 3d edition 1996).

During the winter, Puerto Rico is hot and humid, and that's even truer during the summer months. The trade winds, though, have a cooling effect. You can find information on Puerto Rico through the Caribbean Tourism Organization site. There's also a weather link there.
