Weather in Costa Rica Mid-May?

Question

We'll be leaving in a couple weeks for the Northern Pacific part of CR, specifically Playa Conchal. Just wondering what to expect weather wise? I was told we would want to be out by the pool by 9:00 with clouds around 1:00 and rain around 3:00, does this sound right?

Also, my husband will be going out for 9 hours fishing. Will the weather be the same out in the water? Is the rain kinda like Hawaii, where it's still hot and the rain is actually refreshing our is like a torrential down pour and you have to hide for shelter!!

Sorry about all the questions and thank you ahead of time for your replies, we can't wait to go to your country and sit down with a good drink!!

Answer 1

The wet season may be starting in late May, but early May should still be pretty dry.

Sometimes rains are refreshing, sometimes torrential, just depending on God's mood.

Answer 2

Hi

May... raining season

Mornings should generally be rain free and you should have a few good afternoons too.

Answer 3

That sounds about right.  Mornings should generally be rain free and you should have a few good afternoons too.   I don't think the weather patterns are always the same off shore but I am not a fisherman.

Answer 4

weather here is nice, that's about right what they quite told you. the rain is warm and you can go dancing in it.

Answer 5

It sounds about right, but it is not going to be like that every day. You might find lovely sunny days with no rain at all.
