I followed the coordinate links to the Google map for San Juan. The terrain view of that map shows an elevation of above 600m. This is considerably higher than the 46m elevation described in the article and shown in the city data to the right of the main article. 147.145.44.18 (talk) 21:54, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is a phrase in "Geography and climate" saying "The range of the mean monthly temperatures is 19.4 °C, possibly the highest in all South America." Any verification for that? Intuitively, I would disagree since anything close to the equator has a warmer monthly mean!? Just look at Recife for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recife#Climate — Preceding unsigned comment added by TonieMakaroney (talk • contribs) 04:40, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(The range of the mean monthly temperatures) means the differance between the highest and lowest monthly mean temperatures. Not the temperatures itself. Cities close to the equator may have high monthly means but that is for the whole year and the range between highest and lowest monthly means is actually pretty low. On the other hand cities in the deserts and far from the sea/ocean (like San Juan ,Phoenix and Riyadh) have a very high differance beween summer and winter temperatures.

The phrase still needs citation to a reliable source,Because it looks like some Original research material.PAper GOL (talk) 05:51, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
