General Review

For the remainder of this week and the first days of the next, Costa Rica will not be affected by cold fronts or high-pressure systems. This will favor the continued weakening of the trade winds, and consequently, the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) will remain close to the country.

These conditions will lead to mostly cloudy skies in the Caribbean and Northern Zone with occasional morning showers and the possibility of scattered afternoon showers in mountainous areas.

The Central Valley will have variable cloudiness, with mostly cloudy skies and occasional showers in the eastern, northern, and mountainous areas, while the central and western parts will have mostly partial cloudiness. Scattered afternoon showers are particularly expected on Sunday and Monday.

The Central and Southern Pacific regions will have partial cloudiness in the mornings with occasional coastal showers in the early hours. In the afternoon and early evening, skies are expected to range from partly to mostly cloudy with isolated showers.

The Northern Pacific region is anticipated to have partly cloudy to mostly clear skies with no precipitation for most of the forecast period. However, towards Sunday and Monday, an increase in humidity and a slightly more active ITCZ increases the likelihood of more cloudy conditions and even scattered afternoon showers.
