Before You GoThe 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.
