While some much-needed rain has graced the Guanacaste region, Las Catalinas has yet to experience its first rainfall as of this morning. Nearby areas like Huacas received a brief shower yesterday, and Nicoya has also been blessed with precipitation off and on for a few days. This gentle rainfall serves to rejuvenate the soil and tropical dry forest following months of intense sunshine.
The forecast for Las Catalinas indicates partially cloudy skies with light winds, along with the possibility of light drizzles in mountainous regions. As the sky stays overcast, there is anticipation for the first rainfall in town today, followed by a forecast of cloudy conditions and intermittent light rain over the next few days. Temperatures are expected to reach a high of 37.2 degrees Celsius (99 F) and a low of 22.8 degrees Celsius (73 degrees F).
The Caribbean and South Pacific regions of Costa Rica are currently experiencing significant rainfall, with the IMN reporting accumulations of up to 63 millimeters (about 2.48 in) in the past twelve hours in certain areas.
Don't forget to keep your umbrellas handy, as we look forward to the season’s first rainfall in town.
