I am going to Costa Rica (Puntarenas) the last week of August into September.?

Question

I know the rain season in Puntarenas is from May through November, but does it really rain alot during this time period?

Answer 1

4 real u r omg thats so  kool i wish i could go back 2 my country  im telling u ur gonna love it

Answer 2

You'll be fine... even when it rains hard or a lot, it is beautiful.  And it is something I really miss about living there.  I used to sleep so peacefully when it rained on the tin/metal roof. (I was on bedrest during my pregnancy and slept a lot during the day)

I always found the rain refreshing and coming from someone who had very little knowledge of CR before moving there.. It never rained as much as I  had imagined when I originally heard "wet season!"

Answer 3

Puntarenas the province is pretty big. The city of Puntarenas is boring. Where are you going exactly?Further south of the province (Quepos, Manuel Antonio), there is rainforest and the green season is from may to november. It rains the most in october and november and not at all around 2 weeks in june/july. Mornings are still sunny usually and it would start raining in the afternoon for 1 hour sometimes more. Then it is very hot and humid, all wet, but still warm.

Answer 4

Actually you will be amazed at how little it rains there during their "Rainy" season!

I go to CR at least one a year to visit friends there in Escazu and San Jose and I have only been rained on one time in the last twelve years!  And the rain lasted all of about a half hour!

Good Luck!

Answer 5

Yes, a lot, we spent 8 months in Los Suenos in Jaco, and Puntarenas wasnt nice at all...

Answer 6

It rains almost like clock work.  I live in Golfito de Punteranas in the southern zone.  Here it will rain at approx 2:15 til 4 pm daily.  Sometimes  a shower for am hour in the evening too.  But, you can see it coming.  Then you can see it going ! ! !  Bring an umbrella (collapsable is easier).  I change bars during the no rain times  lol

Enjoy your trip.
