The Christmas cold continues to be felt in Puerto Rico as the National Meteorological Service (SNM) recorded this morning temperatures in the low 60 degrees Fahrenheit in some municipalities in the center of the island.

For example, in Jayuya the temperature was set at 61 degrees Fahrenheit, while in Cayey it dropped to 62 degrees.

According to meteorologist Emanuel Rodriguez, low temperatures will continue for the rest of the week near or below normal as cloud cover increases and wind flow remains northeast.

“It’s been pretty cold. We are going to start seeing some patterns in weather conditions, mainly because we have a trough that is associated with a cold front and this system, as the days go by, should lead to an increase in rainfall activity and conditions. more favorable for them to develop showers in the region“, The expert established in The New Day.

Faced with this, he said that for today some isolated showers are expected over municipalities in the east and north of the island in the morning, while during the afternoon some showers could be recorded in sectors inland and west by the combination of local effects, heat and humidity.

“In some sectors the rain could be moderate to heavy leaving modest accumulations of rain that could leave accumulations on the roads”, He indicated.

Meanwhile, Rodriguez predicted that by tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday the basin will be better defined over the region, so rain activity is expected to increase.

“Yes we should see more significant rainfall activity. Not that we are talking about widespread activity or significant rainfall accumulations, but we will be seeing an increase in rainfall activity in the region, at least for Monday and Tuesday. “Wednesday would be a day of transition, although there would still be enough moisture to generate rain.” he assured.

The meteorologist indicated that as the new year approaches it will have to dominate high pressure with drier air. Rodriguez blunted that although this means drier conditions, conditions will be windy and sea conditions will therefore deteriorate.

In fact, the sea today is plunged into the northern waters with a swell between 4 to 6 feet, So the SNM urged small boat operators to exercise caution.

There is also a moderate risk of sea currents for the beaches of northern Puerto Rico that between tonight and tomorrow will become a high.
