Is it silly to bring rainboots to Puerto Rico?

Question

I am leaving for Puerto Rico this Saturday. The weather report says the entire time I am there and I know it's hurricane season. So is taking a pair of wellies a good idea? And is it better to bring a lot of shorts or a lot of jeans?

Answer 1

If you think you will need them, just bring them, it doesn hurt.  But many people here prefer sandals. Both shorts and jeans is what almost everybody here wears.  Except of course, for nice restaurants or going out to a nice place at night. Enjoy your trip!

Answer 2

Although Hurracaine season starts in June ussually we see the first by August.  We have rain events (of different intensity) through the year, but we do not use rain boots.  The only rubber boots you may see here are those for construction workers while doing certain tasks.

Answer 3

It's a good idea to bring all the rain protection you want, I used to wear a raincoat whenever it was pouring, and rain boots too, so there, now you know that you won't be the first nor the last..LOL Have Fun

Answer 4

Hurricane season doesnt start til June 1st & even then its unusual to get any hurricanes until later. There will probably be rain, but I doubt it will rain the whole time.You don't need the rain boots, it is warm so people normally dont mind getting their feet wet. Sneakers might be better. Also it will be hot, so shorts are good. But jeans & nice pants(if you go anywhere) are good for the evening when its a little cooler & mosquitoes come out, so bring a few also

Answer 5

The thing is... it might rain, but showers are usually very short.. you might look a bit silly in wellies with a clear blue sky.

Plus they weight a ton... better off just sticking to a good pair of tennis shoes made of materials that dry quickly.

You're also better off bringing more shorts than jeans since even when it does rain it's hot. Bring some jeans for going out at night or where more modest attire is required (church)

Answer 6

That is very, very silly and everyone will laugh at you, LOL.

It is extremely hot,

bring shorts,

tanks, and an air conditioner :)

Answer 7

Nobody use rain boots in PR but you can bring them if you want. It's going to be hot though. And usually showers last 15-20 min.

Answer 8

puerto rico its mostly sunny and hot humidity days in the summer. cool and breeze in the spring.

hurricane season over here its around august, september and november. the summer its considered hurricane season, but puerto rico summers are normally very hot and good weather for the beach.

i recommend summer comfy clothes and not rainy clothes, rain boots over here are no good, unless u want to go to el yunque, but otherwise u rain boots are not necessary. i suggest sandals, flip flops for the beach and good sport walking snickers/tennis shoes for walking distance.

Answer 9

Leave the boots at home. Take a lot of shorts but do bring jeans they're good for anything like going to the store, clubing or just relief from the mosquitos.

Answer 10

I would say no....it only rains for about 5-10 minutes, and then it dries up in like 10 minutes. I'd say bring shorts, and capris, jeans might be too hot but idk it just depends.

Answer 11

yes!

Answer 12

I would not say silly just not necessary. 2 jeans,t-shirts,shorts, slippers, sneakers,sun block (about 50 spf.). Use lots of aloe lotion, sold at local Walgreens. Lots of cotton shorts and  shirts. Try some of the sandwiches in some local bakery, they are awesome.El Cubano, especially . Instead of wellies bring a good pair of beach slippers, the ones that close your foot in. Don`t worry about anything, hurricanes are still far off. Have a good time.

Answer 13

Hurricane seasons start June 1st, are you planning to be on a forest (El Yunque) or a river , maybe you will needed.

Answer 14

Unless you're going  to  work in them  ..Yes  it's  silly...
