Get Used to Carrying An Umbrella, Says the Weatherman
Yesterday afternoon's downpour took many by surprise. This is the summer or "dry" season, until the first week of May at least, and it is not supposed to rain.

The Instituto Meteorológico Nacional (IMN) - the weatherman - says that as the "rainy" season approaches, there will be more frequent rain and showers in the afternoon in the coming weeks and suggests that we get used to carrying umbrellas again.

Yesterday's downpour wasn't isolated. It rained from Cartago to Alajuela and though the rain wasn't heavy, it was accompanied by electrical storms in some parts.

The weatherman explains that yesterday's rain was caused by humid winds coming off the Pacific, hitting the hot air caused from the strong sun in the morning.

And, it may rain again today!
