Currently en Puerto Rico — 20 de septiembre, 2023: Lluvias de verano en algunos puntos

Inestabilidad en los niveles superiores de la atmósfera favorecerá el desarrollo de aguaceros y tronadas sobre el interior y el oeste de Puerto Rico cada tarde hasta el fin de semana—algunas de las cuales podrían durar después del anochecer. Además, otras lluvias se moverán hacia el oeste a través de aguas del Atlántico, así afectando la costa este en cualquier momento. Este patrón típico de sol y lluvias mixtas continuará hasta el domingo, cuando llegará una fuerte onda tropical que traerá aguaceros y tronadas extensas para toda la isla..

What you need to know, currently.

There was a spectacular display of northern lights — aurora borealis — on Tuesday, caused by a direct hit from particles sent Earthward from a solar explosion.

We’re in the middle of a multi-year peak of activity on the sun, so northern lights should be more common than in previous years. And the best time to see them is during the fall and winter, when the temperatures aren’t yet too cold, and the nights are getting nice and long.

One of my favorite websites, spaceweather.com, will keep you up-to-date on upcoming chances to see the aurora.
