Each country and Hong Kong 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, visits have been received from 123 countries and 13 non-independent jurisdictions. Hong Kong, which is a Special Administrative Region of China, is one of such jurisdictions.
The following is a summary of the weather for November in the area where we live:

The following is a summary of the weather for November in the area where we live:
In any given year, Costa Rica has a dry season and a rainy or "green" season. With the exception of the Caribbean side of the country, the monthly amount of rainfall tends to begin ramping up in May and to begin ramping down in November. Normally, September and October are the rainiest months. The following chart shows an uncharacteristic surge of rainfall in November this year compared to last year:
The surge is similarly uncharacteristic of the November rainfall we encountered in 2022 where we currently live and in the years 2018 to 2021 when we lived in Puente de Piedra, a short distance south of Grecia.
In some communities within the Grecia Canton, the surge led to serious flooding and landslides. Fortunately, we were not subjected to such consequences.
It remains to be seen whether the amount of rainfall in December plummets as in previous years. Normally, the dry season begins in December.
Information on current and recent weather conditions, climate change and more in various parts of Costa Rica can be obtained from the website of IMN: Instituto Meteorológico Nacional de Costa Rica (Spanish) or National Institute of Meteorology (English). IMN also has a Facebook page which may be of interest.
