Costa Rica's seasons are defined by how much it rains during a particular period. The year can be easily split into two periods. These two periods are what is known to the residents as ''Verano'', summer and ''Invierno'', winter. The verano season is from December to May, and is the time of year when it is not as wet. Invierno is the period from May to November, and during this time, in many locations, it rains constantly. The location that receives the most rain is the Caribbean (northeast) slopes of the Central Cordillera Mountain s, with an annual rainfall of over 5,000 mm. Humidity is also higher on the Caribbean side than on the Pacific side. The mean annual temperature on the coastal lowlands is around 30° C , 23° in the main populated areas of the Central Cordillera, and below 10° on the summits of the highest mountains. |
