About Dayron Pérez

I’m Dayron Pérez, a Weather Analyst and Citizen Scientist from Yauco, Puerto Rico (“La Ciudad del Café”). My passion for meteorology began at a young age, driven by a fascination with hurricanes, severe storms, and atmospheric sciences.

Since 2019, I’ve built and managed weather communities dedicated to informing and educating the public, including a Facebook audience of over 20,000 followers and a regional group reaching nearly half a million members across Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. I’ve also contributed in the past to platforms such as Weather News PR, Centro Nacional de Meteorología M.X. and Centro Meteorológico de Puerto Rico y el Caribe.

I'm a NOAA Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador, a certified NWS Advanced SKYWARN Storm Spotter, and a CoCoRaHS volunteer, where I operate a precipitation station - the first CoCoRaHS station in Yauco - that supports National Weather Service data. My work focuses on delivering accurate, timely, and science-based weather information.

In addition to my meteorological work, I serve as a Motor Transport Operator (88M) since 2025 in the U.S. Army and continue my academic journey in the PUCPR in Emergency Management and Disaster Administration while expanding my knowledge in atmospheric sciences.

My goal is simple: communicate the science of weather clearly, responsibly, and with impact—helping communities stay informed and prepared.
