Weekly outlook


From March 31th to April 06th, 2025

General Review

At the start of the week, the trade winds are gradually weakening, allowing sea breezes to move into the center of the country. This Monday, there is a greater likelihood of afternoon showers in the Central and South Pacific, as well as in the Central Valley and around the Nicoya Peninsula. For Tuesday and Wednesday, a decrease in humidity will generate mostly stable conditions, reducing the possibility of afternoon showers, limiting them to the Central and South Pacific. In these regions, precipitation will persist for most of the week.

The increase in atmospheric pressure in the Caribbean Basin starting Thursday will promote accelerated trade winds in northern and central Costa Rica and, in turn, facilitate the transport of moisture from the Caribbean. This will result in a cloudier pattern and rain in the province of Limón and the North Zone, a situation that will extend into the weekend.

Warm temperatures will prevail in much of the country, as is characteristic of the season.

Forecast

Mornings: Few to partly cloudy nationwide. Moderate trade winds in Guanacaste and the Central Region starting Thursday. Increasing cloudiness and possible rain in the Caribbean and the North Zone, Thursday, Friday, and the weekend.

Afternoons: Partly cloudy conditions are expected in the North Pacific and Central Valley, with possible showers on Monday. Moderate winds are expected starting Thursday. Isolated showers and a possible thunderstorm are expected in the Central and South Pacific. In the Caribbean and the North Zone, scattered showers are expected in the mountains starting Thursday.

Nights: Partly cloudy conditions in the Pacific and Central Valley. Occasional gusts of wind are expected in the Central Region and Guanacaste starting Thursday. In the Caribbean and the North Zone, partly cloudy conditions are expected; from Thursday onward, increased cloud cover and possible rain are expected.
