General Review

For this second half of the week it is estimated that trade winds will continue to be strong, which will be due to the influence of high levels of atmospheric pressure in the Central American region and the Caribbean Sea. Thus, gusts close to 100 km/h are expected in the mountainous parts and between 60-90 km/h in the lower parts of the Central Valley and the North Pacific.

On the other hand, the rains will increase significantly in the province of Limón, the North Zone of the country and in the mountain ranges, being the period between Saturday and Sunday the one of more precipitations. Also, fresh temperatures are expected in the early hours in the GAM and the mountains of the country in general, as well as very hot on the coasts and plains.
