Baby, Its Cold!
The cold front from the north
took over the Central Valley
last night, with strong ice cold
winds, dipping the thermometer
to a chilling low of 14 Celsius
(57 Fahrenheit). Normal night
time temperatures at this time
of the year is 19 - 21 Celsius
(66 to 69 Fahrenheit).
Strong winds caused damage in
parts of Santa Bárbara de
Heredia, where a tree was
toppled and damaged the roof of
a home. Fortunately no injuries
were reported.
Outside the Central Valley, in
Puntarenas, winds reached a high
of 54 Km/h, while in San José
the highest wind was recorded at
45 Km/h.
Damaged power lines due to the
high winds caused interruption
of electrical power in many
areas of San José. Paseo Colon
was without electrical power for
most of the morning Tuesday,
while service in Sabana, Pavas
and Escazú was restored just
after daybreak.
The Instituto Meteoróligo
Nacional (IMS) is blaming cold
air from the north and will be
with us for a few days more. A
jacket is must. In some areas
like Moravia and the high areas
of Escazú and Heredia, a coat
and several lawyers of blankets
will keep you warm.
