Dry Season vs. Wet Season

Like waiting for the perfect moment to eat a ripe piece of fruit, every destination in Costa Rica has its own perfect season. Most often characterized as the dry season, it's the time of year when the rain disappears and the crisp rays of the sun fold through the foliage of the rainforest; prime weather for sun bathing, sunset watching, surfing, fishing, zip lining, hiking and just about every other thing you can think to do outside.

Dry season in the Pacific (Dec.-April)

While the dry season begins early and ends later some years, in general, visitors can expect the best weather from the beginning of December to the middle of April with temperatures ranging between 80 and 100 degrees and an average of 82 degrees. Visitors can expect the driest weather in the northern Pacific region known as Guanacaste. As you move south down the Pacific coast into the central Pacific around Jaco and Manuel Antonio, you can expect more temperate weather: a little milder with a little bit more rain. Down in the Osa Peninsula, near Costa Rica's border with Panama, it rains more frequently and the weather is more similar to the Caribbean region, though the dry season remains the same as the rest of the Pacific.

Dry season in the Central Valley (Dec.-April)

The Central Valley encompasses the area around San Jose and its outlying cities including Alajuela (where you'll find the Juan Santamaria International Airport), Heredia, Grecia, Escazu, Cartago, Naranjo and others. The weather in the central valley is the mildest of the whole country, with average temperatures between 72 and 75 degrees, a high of 84 degrees and a low of 64 degrees.

Dry season in the northern highlands and lowlands (Dec.-April)

Spanning Arenal, Monteverde and Ciudad Quesada, the Northern highlands and lowlands weather is determined by elevation. Average temperatures hover around 86 degrees in the lowlands and 70 degrees in the highlands. Winds increase with elevation making Monteverde particularly windy. The best times to visit depend upon what you want to see. Visit Arenal in the dry season for you best chance of seeing the Arenal Volcano free from cloud cover.

Dry season in the Caribbean (March/April; Sept./Oct.)

The Caribbean receives 141 inches of rain annually with a similar climate stretching from Tortuguero in the north all the way down to Manzanillo at Costa Rica's southern tip. Though the Caribbean has no definable dry season, but that doesn't mean there isn't any sun. The best times to visit are between March and April and September and October when the Caribbean sees the least amount of rain. Temperatures range between 77 and 90 degrees and remain fairly consistent year-round with an average of 81 degrees. Because of the volume of rain, there's also a lot of humidity with daily average hovering around 86 percent.

Wet season in the Pacific (May- Nov.)

Just because there's a little bit of rain, doesn't mean it's not worth visiting the Pacific during the wet season. Not only are the hotel prices more affordable, the countryside flourishes with an entire color wheel of green and that's not to mention the flowers. Wet season in the Pacific has the additional benefit of being fairly consistent. In general, the rain falls mostly during the early afternoon and evening, with a couple-hour window to grab dinner before it starts falling again overnight. The predictable pattern makes it easy to plan activities and meals so that you get the most out of the sunshine and the rain.

Wet season in the Central Valley (May-Nov.)

Similar to the Pacific, the rain falls rather consistently at the same times every day. Get out and enjoy the sunshine in the morning and brace for the rain to start falling in the early afternoon. From mid-day on, expect scattered showers for the rest of the day and into the night.

Wet season in the northern highlands and lowlands (May-Nov.)

Monteverde, located in the highlands, sees significantly more rainfall, winds and cooler weather than towns in the northern lowlands. The average rainfall in highlands areas like Monteverde during the wet season can be as much as 16 inches per month. However, if you're interested in seeing Monteverde in its full glory, visit during the wet season when the clouds rolls through the rainforest. Expect daily showers, though typically the rain falls during the afternoon and evenings.

Wet season in the Caribbean (Nov.-Jan; May-Aug.)

Really, it almost never stops raining in the Caribbean, but you can expect to see the sun for a spell here and there (especially if you visit during those drier months). Unlike the Pacific, the Caribbean rain doesn't fall in a predictable pattern and you can expect it to drop in at any time of the day… so do yourself a favor and bring an umbrella.

A note on hotel prices in the Caribbean: Most hotels plan their high season (read: high prices) in accordance with what's considered the dry season (Dec.-April). This includes hotels in the Caribbean, even though it's actually still the wet season there. So our advice is, visit the Caribbean in either September or October when the weather is drier and the prices are lower.
