Airborne images, and satellite data identified the urbanized area of San Juan, Puerto Rico, as a candidate for an Urban Heat Island (UHI). Differences of air temperature between rural and urban areas (dT(U-R)) corroborate the existence of an UHI that have been increasing at a rate of 0.06°C/year for the last 40 years with predicted differences as high as 8°C for the year 2050. The Regional Atmospheric Model System (RAMS) was used to simulate and compare a primitive, actual, and future scenarios to quantify the impact of the urban development in the regional climate of Puerto Rico. RAMS simulated the UHI conditions at the lower and upper atmosphere revealing sensible heat fluxes and sinks, and an increasing low Turbulent-Kinetic-Energy zone (LTKEZ) over the urbanized area of San Juan.
