Eyes on Costa Rica and Weather Records - October, 2019

In October, visits to this blog were received from the following 14 countries:


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


As expected, the rainy season continued in October. While there was at least some rain on most days, there were only 3 days without measurable rain. However, the total amount was less than that in September which had 9 days without measurable rain.

High and low temperatures were generally within the norm for October. However, it should be noted that these temperatures are measured in a truly shaded area of the property. There is no direct sunlight and reflected sunlight is minimal. On our patio which is partially shaded and where we spend a lot of our time, daily highs occasionally can be 5 to 10 degrees (°F) more than in the truly shaded area.

Nevertheless, higher temperatures on the patio are typically accompanied by significantly lower humidities than those in the truly shaded area. The result, if the measured temperature is 80 degrees or more, is a "feels like" temperature comfortably less than the measured temperature.
