Get Ready To Say
Goodbye To Rainy Season
The transition to the dry season or summer
has begun, as we say goodbye to a rainy
season or winter that was not so wet this
year.
The Instituto Meteorológico Nacional (IMN) -
Costa Rica's weather service - was
predicting an early change over, a week
earlier than normal, with the start of the
season occurring between November 7 and 11
in the Northern Pacific region of
Guanacaste, November 12 to 16 in the Central
Valley (San José), between December 12 and
16 in the Central Pacific (Jacó and Quepos)
and the first week in January for the
Southern Pacific.
The Caribbean coast, however, is expected to
receive up 20% more rain than usual for the
months of November and December, according
to the IMN forecast.
It is estimated that rain in October in the
Central Valley and Pacific regions is 40%
lower than normal for the season, all being
blamed on the effects of El Niño. |
