What is weather like in Costa Rica?

Question

Does it rain alot there? Are there many bugs?

Answer 1

The weather is Costa Rica is rainy.  From December to April/May is the dry season with little to no rain and from April through to November is the rainy season.  In the valleys such as San Jose/Arenal etc... is where you will see the most rain and in the North West region known as Guancaste you will see very little rain.

There are plenty of bugs here, but only if you venture out into the jungle you will get bitten.  Best to bring with you a can of bug spray.  You can buy most of what you need in Costa Rica.

Even during the rainy season it is a very pleasant place to visit becaus eyou can go white water rafting, do jungle tours, river execursions etc...

Answer 4

I think in June there are a lot of bugs.  Then they just disappear and don't come out again until next mating season.

In the wet season it rains nearly every afternoon sometimes hard sometimes soft.

Otherwise nice, warm and tropical all year around.

Answer 5

We have two seasons, the rainy one and the not so rainy. Usually the temperature is between 18-25, now days rains a lot.

Bugs: depends where you go, if you visit rain forest there a many bugs, San Jose less, beaches more, etc . . .

Answer 6

Tropical, so yes, it does rain a lot during the rainy season, and there are lots of bugs just like any tropical country.

Answer 7

During the rainy season - May through November - there is obviously more rain.

Bugs are mostly found in the areas such as the Refuges (ie .. Cano Neggro), Rain Forest...
