Hot And Sunny Days In The Forecast For This
Month
Luis Diego Naranjo of the the Instituto
Meteorológico Nacional, the Costa Rican
national weather service, says the dry and
sunny days are in the forecast for the rest
of the month.
Although October is the wettest month of the
year, this year the rain will be less
compared to Octobers of the past.
Naranjo explained that the low rainfall is
due to the effect of "El Niño".
In the Central Valley Sunday the day was hot
and sunny, with some cloud cover in the
afternoon with only scatted showers.
This is not typical for the season. A walk
through downtown San José confirms it with
the absence of the hordes of umbrella
peddlers.
A typical October day is a hot, scorching
sun in the morning, clouding over in the
afternoon and then a downpour of
proportions, causing flash flooding of
rivers and creeks and San José's sewer
system.
This October very little of that has
occurred. And the "dry" or summer season is
around the corner, with the traditional
changeover of the season beginning the
middle of November.
