We think visiting Pura Vida House during the rainy season is, quite possibly, the best time to visit. Rainy or dry, there is no “bad time” to visit a place like Costa Rica!
When people hear the term “rainy season”, they picture cloudy days and nights, torrential downpours, mudslides, and floods, but the Costa Rica rainy season varies from coast to coast and inland to coastal locations. The real Costa Rica weather during the rainy season may not be as bad as you think.
Here are a few reasons why you should consider a trip during the green season:
You have it Made in the Shade
The daytime high during the dry season in nearby beach town Tamarindo is typically 34 degrees Celsius (93 F). An afternoon during the rainy season can be as low as 25 degrees (77 F), especially after a quick, refreshing downpour. So, don’t let those online forecasts fool you, the real Costa Rica weather during the rainy season does not mean a full day of rain. In reality, you will usually have a short rain in the morning or late afternoon, and it may clear up a bit just in time for a spectacular Costa Rican sunset.
The Sunsets are Phenomenal
They say cloudy skies make for the best sunsets, and it couldn’t be truer than in Costa Rica. Often times during the dry season, the sky remains cloudless all day. Not only does this mean there are no breaks from the hot sun, but the sunsets don’t have anything to reflect their colorful hues. During the rainy season, the clouds paint the sky with shades of violet, magenta, and orange, giving you the most colorful and magical sunsets of the year.
Discover a True Escape from Civilization
Costa Rica rainy season tends to get a bad reputation, as people hear “rain” and assume they will be stuck indoors with their holiday plans ruined. But in reality, a typical day in the rainy season starts off hot and sunny and then, if it does rain, it will cloud up around 2 to 3 pm and rain for a couple of hours until it clears up again just in time for sunset at 5 to 6 pm. While there are days when it might rain more, there are also days when it won’t rain at all, especially in July. The only months where it may rain once every day are September and October and even these months will see full days of sun.
Rainy season is also perfect for nature lovers who will be thrilled by the variety of animal and plant species that will emerge. With trees turning green and flowers in bloom, the rains turn the dry season’s bleak countryside into a picturesque paradise. Rainy season is especially ideal for whale watching and turtle nesting tours, as this is the prime time when these creatures migrate to Costa Rica.
Rainy or dry, there is no “bad time” to visit a place like Costa Rica!
