Has It Ever Snowed in Puerto Rico?

Yes, but only three documented times—all on Cerro de Punta (4,390 ft / 1,338 m), the island's highest peak:

• Jan 19, 1966: Dusting, temp 18°F (-8°C).
• Mar 8, 1980: Up to 1 inch (2.5 cm), lasted days.
• Jan 12, 1992: Light frost/dusting.

Snow never falls at lower elevations; the tropical climate prevents it.
