May Weather in Puerto Rico

The tables below give the normal May 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.
