Fire Danger Statement
National Weather Service San Juan PR
425 AM AST Fri Aug 21 2026

...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR TODAY FROM 10 AM
to 5 PM AST ...

Similar as yesterday, for today dry conditions will persist
across the region with low relative humidity, sustained winds
between 10 to 15 mph, , and dry fuels continuing to support
elevated fire danger. Adding to that, critical fuel conditions
persist across the islands, with extreme drought affecting
portions of eastern Puerto Rico and the southern coastal plains.

Fuels along the southern coastal plains are exceptionally dry
resulting in frequent fire activity. Therefore, a Fire Danger
Statement is in effect from 10 AM to 5 PM AST for the southern and
southwestern plains and hills of Puerto Rico. Residents and
visitors are strongly urged to avoid outdoor burning, as
conditions will easily support wildfire ignition and rapid spread.

Fire danger statements are issued when fire weather conditions
are approaching, but not meeting or exceeding, Red Flag Warning
criteria.
