Eyes on Costa Rica and Weather Records - May, 2019

During May, visits to this blog were received from the following countries:

The following is a summary of weather for the month in the area where we live:


During May, the rainy season (aka "green" season) arrived with a vengeance. There were 21 days with measurable rain totaling over 14 inches (37 centimetres). In contrast, there was only one day with measurable rain in the preceding four months - and a very small amount at that - about 0.01 inches (0.025 centimeters).

A few days were marked by socked in clouds and daylong drizzle. Although significantly milder than up North, this was reminiscent of the weather during winters in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada and the Pacific Northwest in the USA. Other rainy days were more typical of the green season. They began with clear or broken cloudy skies in the mornings followed by thunder, lightning and rain in the afternoons.

Also typical of the green season and its accompanying cloudiness, daytime high temperatures in May tended to be a bit lower than previous months and overnight low temperatures tended to be a bit higher.
