Stay Alert: Flood Warnings for Santurce and Nearby Areas

Living in Santurce, Puerto Rico, I’ve come to appreciate the beauty and serenity of this coastal town. But with the recent weather changes, it’s important to stay informed about potential hazards. The Servicio Nacional de Meteorología (SNM) has issued flood warnings for several municipalities, including Arecibo and Hatillo, which are located near Santurce. These warnings are set to continue until 4:00 PM today, September 27, 2026.

According to the SNM, expect between 1 and 2 inches of additional rainfall over the area. This extra precipitation could lead to minor flooding. Be cautious of flooded roads and keep an eye on your surroundings. Do not drive through flooded areas. The weather service also predicts more frequent light showers, especially in coastal and western regions, with an increase in lightning storms later in the day.

This is a reminder to all residents and visitors to stay alert and take necessary precautions. Whether you’re out running errands or just enjoying a walk, keep your phone handy to check for updates. Santurce may be a charming place, but it’s crucial to be prepared for any weather conditions.
