General Review

For the remainder of this week, accelerated trade winds will continue in the center and north of the country, with the strongest gusts expected this Thursday and Friday. These gusts are expected to range between 35 and 65 km/h (22 and 40 mph) in the lower parts of the Central Valley and between 50 and 80 km/h (31 and 50 mph) in Guanacaste, with highs of up to 97 km/h (60 mph) in the northern mountain ranges at the beginning of the period. Humidity is expected to be low from Thursday to Friday, increasing from Saturday onward from the Caribbean to the Caribbean side. Therefore, cloudiness and the probability of scattered rain are confirmed in the Caribbean and parts of the Northern Zone. In addition, localized showers and downpours are expected again in the afternoons in the Central and South Pacific toward the second half of the period under consideration.
