During January, visits to this blog were received from the following 17 countries:
There were no new countries and the overall total since November 2012 remains at 129 countries.
The following is a summary of weather for the month in the area where we live:
Compared to January 2019, January temperatures this year were a mixed bag. Average overnight low temperatures were a bit higher. Average daytime high temperatures were a bit lower. However, the hottest daytime temperature this year was lower than that in 2019 and the coldest overnight low temperature was lower than that in 2019. In fact, the coldest overnight low temperature (56°F, 13.3°C) in January 2020 was a record low for all the time we have exclusively lived in the Central Valley of Costa Rica in Vista Atenas near the town of Atenas and in Hacienda El Paseo near the city of Grecia.
With regard to rainfall, the amount in January this year was minimal and consistent with the so-called "dry season". However, there were 3 days of measurable rain (which is good for Costa Rica). Compare this with 0 days in January 2019.
January 2020 was also marked by continuing strong Papagayo winds - strong enough to blow down trees and throw around loose objects on patios, etc. These winds are nowhere near hurricane force but they are something that should be reckoned with.
