December Weather Averages

Sorted by popularity:

Weather lowdown

Puerto Rico is pleasantly warm in December, compared to many other holiday destinations in Europe. Although there is a chance of rain, temperatures can reach up to 21°C during the day, cooling to 16°C in the evening. The nights can get a bit chilly.

You can expect plenty of sunshine during your stay; up to 9 hours a day. The sea water temperature is a pleasant 22°C. Expected rainfall is 21mm over 5 days.

What's the weather like in Puerto Rico at Christmas time?

Like many resorts in the Canary Islands, Puerto Rico is a very popular place to spend Christmas time. During the fortnight in which Christmas Day falls, Puerto Rico experiences an average temperature of 19°C, with regular highs of 21°C and regular lows of 17°C. Thanks to the subtropical climate, temperatures almost never fall below 14°C or rise above 23°C around Christmas time.

If you decide to stay at Puerto Rico for Christmas, you'll probably experience a few overcast spells, with the median cloud cover being around 50%. At this time of year, there's only a 31% chance that the resort will see any rainfall, so you probably won't see as much as a shower during your holiday. If you are unlucky enough to get some of the wet stuff during your holiday, it will most likely be moderate rain, drizzle or light rain.

As you'd expect for the Canary Islands, snowfall is incredibly unlikley to fall in Puerto Rico during December. So although you won't get to enjoy a white Christmas, you will be able to soak up some rays during the eight hours of sunshine which the resort receives each day.
