Eyes on Costa Rica and Weather Records - January 2024

Click on images to enlarge.

During January, visits to this blog were received from the following 12 countries:

Each country is followed in brackets by the total number of visits received since records first started to be kept in November 2012.

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 136. Of this number, 13 are non-independent jurisdictions - e.g. the Isle of Man (a self-governing British Crown Dependency) from which 1 visit has been received.

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

The dry season is now fully upon us. But, by "us", I mean those of us who live in the Central Valley or Pacific Region of the country and not the Caribbean Region. The difference is that the dry season in the Central Valley or Pacific Region is the rainy season in the Caribbean Region (and vice-versa)

Information on current and recent weather conditions in various parts of the country can be obtained from the website of Instituto Meteorológico Nacional de Costa Rica (Spanish) or National Institute of Meteorology (English except for some images).
