Costa Rica weather

One of tourist’s most common questions is: “What’s the weather like down there in Costa Rica?” Well, unlike other countries Costa Rica has only two seasons: the dry season and the rainy season. The dry season goes from late November to mid April and the rainy season from May to mid November.

That said, because its location, Costa Rica has many microclimates and temperatures vary according to elevation, not according to season. Because of Costa Rica’s geography a little rain is very common every day during the dry season, so don’t get your hopes up if you visit our country during the dry season in order to avoid getting wet.

Last but not least, it never hurts to check with a weather channel or link of your preference before your travel. The map below shows the average yearly rainfall for every region in Costa Rica.
