Before You Go
The Puerto Rico Ports Authority (PRPA) owns and operates 9 airports in the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to promote the safe and efficient transportation
of people and goods by air.
These airports support ongoing economic development, promote the island’s
tourism industry and conveniently link the Commonwealth’s citizens to
important destinations around the world.
Is slightly four million, with a
slight majority living in and
around the San Juan
metropolitan area.
The climate of Puerto Rico falls into the
tropical climatic zone. Temperatures are
moderate year round, averaging near 80 °F
(27 °C) in lower elevations and 70 °F (21 °C)
in the mountains. Easterly trade winds pass
across the island year round. Puerto Rico
has a rainy season which stretches from
April into November. The mountains of the
Cordillera Central are the main cause of the
variations in the temperature and rainfall that
occur over very short distances. The
mountains can also cause wide variation in
local wind speed and direction due to their
sheltering and channeling effects adding to
the climatic variation.
