Use this page to explore the weather in Costa Rica. The forecast point is San José; its temperature, rain and wind describe that location, not an average for the country. The regional background below explains what to consider when comparing the map with your destination. It is not a country climate classification or a forecast for a particular season.
North America: large distances and local contrasts
From high latitudes to the tropics
North America brings together Arctic areas, temperate regions, mountains, dry interiors and tropical coasts and islands. Seasonal expectations change greatly across this range. Winter conditions in a northern or elevated location cannot be inferred from a mild coastal forecast. Equally, a warm afternoon at the forecast point does not describe an entire country. Use the geography of the destination, not just the month, when comparing weather.
Follow the time and the terrain
A broad radar view helps show precipitation moving across a region; a closer view helps relate it to a particular route. Check whether later frames are observations or predictions. Mountains, distance from a radar and network boundaries may affect what is visible. When comparing several places, confirm their local times: one map timestamp can represent different hours across the continent. Daily rain totals and hourly rain amounts also cover different periods.
Check the relevant service
For seasonal travel planning, choose climate records close to the destination and at a comparable elevation. For current disruption, follow official local forecasts, weather warnings and instructions from the responsible authorities. Warning systems and terminology differ across countries. A storm track, rain map or ordinary wind forecast is not a substitute for the dedicated official information issued during a major weather event.
