QCOSTARICA – After two days of virtually no rain in many parts of the country and the sunshine this morning, don’t forget to pack your umbrellas as you will most likely need it in the afternoon.
The national weather service, the Instituto Meteorológico Nacional (IMN), is forecasting a return to “typical” rainy conditions starting today after last week, as the country experienced the passage of the first tropical wave that generated downpours in almost the entire national territory, that resulted in many areas with flooding and landslides.
The IMN forecast for today, Monday, May 23:
“This Monday we will have a characteristic pattern of rainy season in the country. A hot and sultry morning followed by a cloudy afternoon with rain and storm showers in the Central Valley, Central and South Pacific, as well as the North Zone and the Nicoya Peninsula. At night downpours are expected in the coastal sectors of the Central and North Pacific.”
