Puerto Rico is implementing water rationing measures in San Juan amid an intense drought, raising questions for American tourists visiting the Caribbean island<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More than 180,000 water customers will face 48-hour water outages on an alternating schedule starting Friday, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Historical weather data shows that July was the driest month for San Juan in more than 120 years, as well as the second-hottest month<\/a> on record.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Drought Monitor reports that nearly 25% of Puerto Rico is experiencing a severe drought and another 36% is under a moderate drought, per the AP.<\/p>\n

The situation is raising concerns among some tourists regarding upcoming trips to the island.<\/p>\n

On a Reddit forum dedicated to Puerto Rico travel<\/a>, one tourist said that, though the person’s hotel was equipped with an emergency water supply, they were still worried about the shortage.<\/p>\n

“Can someone please be realistic about what it\u2019d be like to visit during this?” the Reddit user asked. “Will it affect restaurants and bars<\/a>? Should we cancel even though we likely won\u2019t get anything refunded?”<\/p>\n

In response, other users offered mixed assessments of how the rationing could affect visitors.<\/p>\n

“Hotels have cisterns and generators,” one person wrote. “However, you should prepare to be flexible in your outlook, as it is a crisis.”<\/p>\n

“Hotels are probably<\/a> the ones less affected by all of this,” a different Reddit user advised. “Businesses and restaurants will [definitely] have to adjust, like they’ve had to in the past. Droughts don’t happen every year but they are common.”<\/p>\n

“Good luck is all I have to say,” another person said. “Have family [that] were told about upcoming water shutoffs.”<\/p>\n

Others were less concerned about how the drought could affect travelers.<\/p>\n

Biggest “issues you\u2019ll encounter [are] no ice in drinks<\/a>, or car washes available,” a Reddit user said.<\/p>\n

“Pools are unaffected, restaurants might use paper plates,” another said.<\/p>\n

The person behind the original Reddit post later updated the thread to say the travelers canceled their trip.<\/p>\n

“We didn\u2019t feel good about going and canceled,” the Reddit user said. “We got refunds on some things, not others, and hope to be back another time.”<\/p>\n

Water-related advisories have also affected travelers in other tropical destinations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Hawaii officials issued multiple brown water advisories<\/a> across the state’s islands in the aftermath of a storm.<\/p>\n

At the time, there were concerns about heavy rain runoff carrying pesticides, sewage and animal waste into the ocean, which raised concerns about E. coli and salmonella.<\/p>\n

“If the water is brown, turn around,” the Hawaii Department of Health Clean Water Branch said.<\/p>\n
