Eyes on Costa Rica and Weather Records - June 2021 / Covid-19 Update

During June, visits to this blog were received from the following 5 countries and the Cayman Islands:

This compares with 14 countries in June 2019 and 21 countries in June 2020.

The total number of countries and non-independent jurisdictions from which visits have been received remains at 133. Of this number, 13 are non-independent jurisdictions.

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


The total rainfall was less than that in June 2020 (12.56 in. / 319 mm) but more than that in June 2019 (5.52 in. / 140 mm). High and low temperatures were a bit cooler.

Covid-19 Update

The following table updates the information which appeared in my blog entry posted on June 9:


The death rate in Costa Rica has dropped by a marginal amount (0.01 percentage points). Conversely, the death rates in the U.S. and Canada have risen by the same marginal amount. 

If you want to see how some other country is doing in comparison to those listed, then visit the website of Worldometer. Numbers for populations, reported cases and reported deaths can be obtained from that site. All that is then needed is some simple math to calculate the percentage death rate for the other country and the death rate in that country compared to Costa Rica.

If you want more comprehensive and up-to-date information and statistics on the situation in Costa Rica, including various locales in Costa Rica, then the La Nacion newspaper is a good source. If you do not understand Spanish, then you will need a web browser (Google Chrome, Safari, etc.) which is set to translate to your language of choice from Spanish.
