Eyes on Costa Rica and Weather Records - April 2023

During April, visits to this blog were received from the following 9 countries:


From the time I started to keep track, the total number of countries and non-independent jurisdictions from which visits have been received remains at 135. Of this number, 13 are non-independent (e.g. Cayman Islands - - a self-governing British Overseas Territory - - from which 11 visits have been received).

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


Nothing particularly remarkable except that the highest overnight low temperature (67°F, 19.4°C) was a sign of the upcoming rainy season (aka "green" season). The air is more moist. Heat gathered during the day dissipates more slowly during the night.

Off the topic of weather, and off the coast of Panama near the border with Costa Rica, there was a sizable earthquake during the afternoon on April 4th. The following map has been annotated to show our approximate location relative to the epicenter.


As the crow flies (or maybe that should be crow + albatross flit’s), our distance from the epicenter was about 220 miles (354 km). Despite the distance, we felt the rumble for several seconds. It was magnitude 6.4 on the Richter scale.
