As of Sunday, the weather station in the San Juan Area has documented a remarkable total of 49 consecutive days with maximum temperatures reaching 90°F or above, as reported by the National Weather Service (NWS).
This ongoing spell of extreme heat continues to establish a new record in the area, significantly eclipsing the former record of 36 consecutive days that was set back in 2012.
The sustained high temperatures in San Juan and its neighboring areas have raised concerns among experts and residents alike, who have been feeling the impact of this atypical heat. According to the NWS, such prolonged high temperatures are not typical for this season and may signal broader changes in the region’s weather trends.
Forecasts suggest that maximum temperatures could remain at or above 90°F in the upcoming days, which would further extend the record heat wave’s duration. Should the conditions persist, the streak could reach 50 days or longer, marking an extraordinary milestone in Puerto Rico’s climatic history.
Officials advise the public to take necessary precautions against extreme heat, including staying hydrated, limiting prolonged sun exposure, and finding cool or air-conditioned environments, especially during peak temperature hours.
