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


August was marked by more rain and cooler daytime high temperatures than last month. The maximum rainfall for any one day was a record for the year.

Friends who live south of us on the Osa Peninsula have reported incredible amounts of rain over the last couple of months - far more than our experience in Grecia where we now live and in Atenas where we previously lived.

Though it cannot be blamed on the weather, a significant magnitude 6.0 earthquake occurred mid-afternoon on August 24. The epicenter was about 40 miles (64 km) from where we live as the crow flies. We felt it for about 5 to 10 seconds. Apparently, it was more intense in other regions near where we live but with little or no damage.
