General Review

Throughout the week, the trade winds over the Caribbean Sea will remain slightly accelerated. This condition will favor moisture transport and morning rainfall, especially in the Caribbean and Northern regions.

Some of the morning cloud cover could extend into the Central Valley, resulting in cooler conditions and occasional drizzle in the eastern and northern parts of the valley.

This wind pattern will also cause afternoon showers in the Central Valley and Guanacaste to be more scattered and less intense than in previous days—except possibly on Wednesday, when increased activity is expected. In contrast, the Central and South Pacific regions will continue to experience afternoon downpours with thunderstorms.

Additionally, two tropical waves are expected to arrive:

    Tropical Wave #12 will move in on Tuesday night, keeping the atmosphere unstable through Wednesday.

    Tropical Wave #13 is forecast to arrive over the weekend, which could enhance rainfall across several regions.

By the weekend, trade wind intensity is expected to decrease, although it could pick up again early next week.
