Costa Rica’s weather forecast this week is calling for typical rainy season conditions due to the positioning of the Intertropical Convergence Zone. Warm temperatures, light winds, and atmospheric instability will continue to produce rain and showers, accompanied by thunderstorms during the afternoons and early evenings.
Wednesday and Thursday, we can look forward to a slight decrease in atmospheric humidity, which could reduce cloud cover and make rain more isolated.
Toward the weekend, Friday through Sunday, a surge of rainfall is projected with more widespread precipitation and the possibility of strong, isolated events.
Costa Rica’s Weather Institute (IMN) says that no tropical waves are expected to impact us this week.
