Changing Seasons in Costa Rica
I wake up early, around 5:30 every morning, and slip outside to watch the sun rise over the mountains. I savor the crisp morning air in Atenas — it’s in the upper 60’s — as the locally-grown coffee works its magic on my tastebuds. It’s a typical January morning in Costa Rica’s Central Valley: gloriously sunny and full of possibility. The dry season has arrived, and with it comes a welcome drop in humidity, cool winds, and the best sleeping weather you can imagine.
FAQs
What is the weather like in Costa Rica?
Located just north of the equator, Costa Rica has a temperate tropical climate marked by two seasons: the dry (December- April) and the wet (May-November). When considering a move, location is a big part of the equation — choose from balmy beaches, cool mountains, or the Spring-like weather of the Central Valley.
