Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Puerto Rico
National Weather Service San Juan PR
501 AM AST Fri Jun 13 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Today`s weather conditions are expected to remain largely
unchanged, with southern Puerto Rico still experiencing very dry
conditions, elevated Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) values, and
significant to critical rainfall deficits over the past 30 to 60
days. Breezy to locally windy conditions, combined with low
humidity, will continue to create an environment favorable for the
rapid spread of fires. Fire danger activity has increased in
recent days, and today`s forecast supports another prolonged
period of elevated fire weather, prompting the issuance of a Fire
Danger Statement for the southern coastal plains and hills of
Puerto Rico.

The ongoing drying trend, along with continued breezy to windy
conditions, is expected to persist through Saturday. Residents and
land management officials should remain alert and take all
necessary precautions. For full details, please refer to the
latest Fire Danger Statement (RFDSJU).
