Closing in on the end of October, we are in the deepest part of our green, or rainy season. And it will continue into November, or part of November.
Costa Rica has essentially two seasons ... dry and wet .. roughly six months each. Wet (and beautifully green) from about May to November, and dry from November to May ... with some variations. The dry season is the high season for tourists from the frozen northern climes.
Coming from the Pacific Northwest (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada), we don't mind rain at all and, in fact, embrace our rainy days here ...
This does not mean it rains for days on end for six months. For four or five months of the green season, mornings and early afternoons are sunny and maybe, perhaps, rain might fall later in the afternoon. I am only referring to where we live in the Central Valley and at our elevation.
These recent days, for us at our elevation, we are experiencing rain earlier in the day. I hung our wash out this morning before 8:00am but the sun and winds were not in alignment and so some of my laundry did not totally dry. We hung the still damp things inside the house and will put them out on the line again tomorrow.
Some people have clothes dryers here that they use carefully because electricity is expensive.

Well the rain pattern has changed in the four years we have lived in Atenas. It now rains at night as well as earlier as you mentioned. I like whatever season we are currently in to tell the truth. Both are nice.
We like either season also.
I don’t suppose many of websites give this kind of information.
