How cold!

On Christmas morning in Puerto Rico woke up cold with temperatures in the mid to low 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the National Meteorological Service (SNM) reported in San Juan.

Meteorologist Odalys Martínez has indicated that temperatures may have dropped more last night and this morning, but this did not happen due to the cloudiness that remains on the island as part of the passage of a valley. at high levels of the atmosphere.

“Temperatures are at 60 degrees Fahrenheit (ºF). Basically between the mid to low 60s it’s cold, but it’s within normal for these days. The reality is it won’t go down much more until the cloud cover the area “, Explained the expert in a telephone interview with The New Day.

Some of the temperatures recorded last night were 65 º F in Aibonito, and 66 º F in Joncs and Arecibo. Adjuntes has been one of the villages with the lowest temperatures, but at the time of this publication there was no record of the temperature last night. However, the night before the low was at 56 º F.

The weather, according to Martínez, will be cool but a little unstable due to the continuation of the rains that are taking place in the basin.

“Especially in the morning we expect passenger showers to continue to prevail in eastern Puerto Rico. They will decrease in the afternoon as a mass of dry air enters the area. But at least in the morning we will continue to see passenger rain in the area, particularly in eastern Puerto Rico “, Anticipated the meteorologist.

“Even then for the weekend as the dry air mass dominates the frequency of watering will be lower,” he abounded.

On the showers, Martinez argued that they will not have to leave significant flooding, because they will be fast moving. However, he did not rule out that it could accumulate water in areas with little drainage.

In the meantime, the expert stressed that sea conditions continue to deteriorate due to the influence of a tide.

“We have a warning for small boat operators and high risk of sea currents. The swell is eight to 10 feet,” Martinez pointed out.
