Hot Mornings and
Afternoon Showers Normal
For Last Days of Summer
Gabrieal Chinchilla of
the Instituto
Meteorológico Nacional (IMN)
- national weather
service - confirmed
yesterday that the
remaining days of "verano"
(summer or dry season)
will see hot mornings
with scattered showers
in the afternoons.
Chinchilla added that
downpours could be
experienced in areas of
the Central Pacific (Jacó,
Quepos, Manuel Antonio
and Puntarenas) and the
Central Valley.
According to the weather
service, mornings will
be sunny and hot in all
parts of Guanacaste, the
western part of the
Central Valley and the
Pacifica coastal areas.
The plains of the
northern zone (Upala and
Los Chiles) and the
Limón coast should see
clear skies.
In San José, morning
temperatures could be as
low as 15 Celsius but
will warm up quickly
hovering in the 25
Celsius by late morning,
while Alajuela (west of
San José) around the
airport the range will
be between 18 and 31
Celsius.
The IMN says that is
very important to
remember to bring along
an umbrella and jacket
as scattered showers
will be common in the
afternoons.
Typically the verano or
dry season ends mid-May
when the rainy or green
season takes over until
December. However, due
to the effects of La
Niña, the IMN is
forecasting the rainy
season to commence a
month earlier.
