Costa Rica Rainy season

These past few days I have not been able to keep up with the weather changes we have been having: one minute the sun is shinning like we are in the middle of summer and the next we are having a rainstorm.

 

Because of its location, Costa Rica weather changes drastically and constantly.  This is due to the location it has on the earth. Although it is a geographically small country, Costa Rica has many different weather types: from cold windy places up in the Alajuela mountains to extremely humid and hot in the Caribbean Coast, Costa Rica has what I like to call “wild weather swings”.

 

Atenas is a town in Alajuela, Costa Rica’s best weather can be experience there, although I have also heard that, that weather is the best in the world and not only in Costa Rica: very sunny and a fresh breeze blows all day long.

 

Limon, located in the Caribbean coast holds wonderful rainforests, Costa Rica’s most precious jungles. The weather is of course very humid due to the raining and very hot, I would compare it with Miami’s weather if ask me.

 

Puntarenas, is located in the Pacific coast of Costa Rica and there is something very intriguing about this province: it is a long land strip full of coasts and beaches, yet a gorgeous place called Monteverde is located there and is one of the most wonderful rainforests I have ever seen; how can it be so close to the coast and be so incredibly windy and cold? I am actually doing research on that one, I will show you my findings later.

 

San Jose, Costa Rica’s capital is not so humid, it does rain a lot during the rainy season but the sun shines brightly during the summer time which is nice.

 

Now, my home, Guanacaste: Costa Rica has amazing California like weather here: sunny, dry, breeze, perfect for vacationing. Random rain may come along sometimes and makes everything fresher. I just love it here.
