How cold!

Puerto Rico’s Christmas morning woke up cold, with temperatures in the middle at 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the National Meteorological Service (SNM) in San Juan reported.

Meteorologist Odalys Martínez indicated that the temperatures could have dropped more last night and this morning, but this did not happen due to the disturbance that remains over the island as part of the passage of a gutter to high levels of the atmosphere.

“Temperatures are in the 60’s Fahrenheit (ºF). Basically in the middle to 60, which is cold, but normally for these days. The reality is that it will not go down much lower until the cloud cover is removed. “explained the expert in a telephone interview with The new day.

Some of the temperatures recorded last night were 65 ° F in Aibonito and 66 ° F in Juncos and Arecibo. Adjuntas was one of the cities with the lowest temperatures, but at the time of publication there was no record of the temperature last night. However, the night before the low was 56ºF.

The weather, according to Martínez, will remain cold, although a little unstable due to the continuation of the rains produced by the gutter.

“Especially in the morning, we expect temporary 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 temporary rains in the area, especially in eastern Puerto Rico. “, the meteorologist anticipated.

“Already then for the weekend, because the mass of dry air dominates the frequency of rains will be lower,” he added.

As for the rains, Martínez said he should not leave significant flooding because they will be moving fast. However, he did not rule out that water may accumulate in areas with low drainage.

In the meantime, The expert pointed out that sea conditions continue to deteriorate due to the influence of a storm surge.

“We have a warning for small boat operators and a high risk of ocean currents. The swelling is between eight and 10 feet, “Martinez said.
