Weekly outlook
July 7th to July 13, 2025
General Review
The passage of tropical wave #13 early Monday morning will maintain an unstable atmospheric environment at the beginning of the week, so isolated showers are expected this day in the national territory.
In addition, during the next few days, the presence of dust from the Sahara along with the increase in the intensity of the trade winds in the Caribbean Sea, will decrease humidity in the region, which is a characteristic condition of the canicular period that occurs in July in Central America; this implies a decrease in rainfall, mainly in the Central Valley and the North Pacific. Meanwhile, the entry of clouds from the maritime sector will leave occasional rains in the northern zone and the Caribbean, while in both the Central Pacific and the South Pacific occasional downpours are expected in the afternoons, with greater intensity from Thursday onwards.
Three tropical waves are being monitored in the Atlantic at the beginning of the week, with the closest of them (OT#14) expected to arrive on Saturday and increase the presence of rains for the weekend, and the other two waves will arrive next week.
Forecast
Mornings: Northern Zone and the Caribbean, possibility of occasional showers in the early morning and early hours. In the Central Valley and Pacific regions, partly cloudy skies.
Afternoons: In general, variable cloudiness from partial to total over the national territory with occasional showers near the Pacific coast -from the Nicoya Peninsula to the Southern Zone-, as well as near the mountains of the Northern Zone and the Northern Caribbean. In the Central Valley and northern Guanacaste no significant rainfall is expected.
Nights: On both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, occasional showers are possible during this period. For the Central Valley and the Northern Zone, no significant rains are expected for this period.
