This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10 meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages. The average hourly wind speed in San Juan is gradually increasing during December, increasing from 11.3 miles per hour to 11.8 miles per hour over the course of the month. For reference, on July 14, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 12.5 miles per hour, while on October 10, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 9.3 miles per hour.

Definitions of the growing season vary throughout the world, but for the purposes of this report, we define it as the longest continuous period of non-freezing temperatures (≥ 32°F) in the year (the calendar year in the Northern Hemisphere, or from July 1 until June 30 in the Southern Hemisphere). Temperatures in San Juan are sufficiently warm year round that it is not entirely meaningful to discuss the growing season in these terms.

Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature.

The topography within 2 miles of San Juan contains only modest variations in elevation, with a maximum elevation change of 194 feet and an average elevation above sea level of 5 feet. Within 10 miles contains only modest variations in elevation (984 feet). Within 50 miles contains very significant variations in elevation (4,390 feet). The area within 2 miles of San Juan is covered by water (78%) and artificial surfaces (19%), within 10 miles by water (58%) and grassland (16%), and within 50 miles by water (75%) and trees (14%). This report illustrates the typical weather in San Juan, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016. Temperature and Dew PointThere are 2 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in San Juan. For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and San Juan according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations. The estimated value at San Juan is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between San Juan and a given station. The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:

The shaded overlays indicate night and civil twilight.
Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

December Weather in Puerto Rico: Temperature, Rain Averages
The tables below give the normal December temperatures and rainfall for cities and popular vacation spots in Puerto Rico. There’s also information here on this month’s average humidity and ocean temperature at San Juan.
The temperature and rain measurements are averages based on weather data collected from 1991 to 2020 for the US National Centers for Environmental Information.
One site, Pico Del Este, is much cooler than others on the list. That’s because it’s a high mountain peak, at 3448 feet (1050 metres) elevation, in the El Yunque Caribbean National Forest.
