What is the climate of Guanacaste like?
Located about 10 degrees north of the equator, the climate of Costa Rica is tropical. There are only two seasons: wet and dry. The dry season or verano (summer) is from December through April. The days are warm and sunny, with clear nights. The rainy season or invierno (winter) is from mid-May to November. In Guanacaste, the rainy season is generally less dramatic. Many days start off sunny and then change into mild showers during the afternoon with the clouds drifting out to sea. This makes some for some of the most beautiful sunsets on the planet. The foliage during rainy season is very lush and grows rapidly. All of the pastures turn green. During dry season, the weather is warmer and it almost never rains. The temperature hovers in the 90s during the day and drops to the low 80s at night. Visitors are pretty much guaranteed of having excellent weather for beach activities.
