Weather in Puerto Rico | Hot or Cold?
The Cordilla Central Mountains have a surprisingly large impact on the weather and climate in Puerto Rico. Their position can either have a channeling effect on the winds, increasing the speed, or they can have a sheltering effect on certain areas depending on the wind direction. Puerto Rico has a moist atmosphere being a warm weathered island, thus most of the rain in Puerto Rico is orographic. This means that the warm moist air is caused to rise due to the mountains in Puerto Rico where it then cools, condenses, and falls as rain.
