Heat Hazard Average Annual Days greater than 95°
About this map: This depiction of heat hazard zones across Puerto Rico is based on outputs from the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) for the Commonwealth (1989-2018). The hexagonal grids utilized here provide a standardized method for overlaying multiple hazards each with different spatial representations. The average annual number of days with a temperature above 95° is calculated for each hexagonal grid, representing 0.5 sq. miles, and is symbolized using an equal interval classification scale showing areas of higher heat hazard frequency across Puerto Rico. |
