San Juan endured its driest July in over 120 years — and water rationing is about to hit Puerto Rico’s major tourist areas. Starting Friday, more than 180,000 customers across cities like San Juan and Carolina — home to popular beaches, hotels, and the island's main international airport — will lose water for 48 hours at a time.
