Best Time To Travel To: Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is located in the Caribbean and is the easternmost large island there. Puerto Rico is comparatively hilly, but the country hardly rises to more than 1,200 meters.

Puerto Rico actually has a fairly mild and pleasant climate all year round.

The island's hills mainly protect the south coast, which receives relatively little rainfall compared to the north and inland areas. You should also note in Puerto Rico that in the mountains it gets a little colder with increasing altitude. Temperatures there drop significantly all year round, especially at night.

On the north coast it actually rains all year round and there is no clear dry season. But the rain never falls extremely hard. The climate table of San Juan is typical for the region, but the hurricanes that reach Puerto Rico are also typical for the region. There is usually a risk of hurricanes between May and November.

When is the best time to go to Puerto Rico

The best time for Puerto Rico could be set between December and April, because the risk of hurricanes is rather low here. But there is also a lot going on during that time, because December to April is also the main travel season on the island. Theoretically, you could have a good vacation in Puerto Rico even in the hurricane season - provided you have reliable weather forecasts.
