General Review

Variable rainfall patterns are expected during this week, mainly due to variations in the atmospheric moisture content.

High humidity levels will prevail at the beginning of the period and later towards the weekend, which will favor recurrence of rainfall mainly in the afternoons and early evenings in regions of the Pacific, Central Valley, North Zone and mountains of the Caribbean. Between Wednesday and Thursday, a decrease in humidity is expected in the environment, giving rise to more localized and short-term precipitation events in the aforementioned sectors.

Tropical storm Oscar is located in eastern Cuba and is heading towards the North Atlantic, it does not generate any type of influence in Costa Rica.
