I be down in a few weeks and the weather services ( MSN ) shows rain most every day and I was wondering 1) how heavy/type of rain is it 2) is there any regular time of the day it comes 3) being higher up then the coast is this a cold or warm rain? 4)How's the humidity? I live where most of our rain comes in the very cold type and very heavy except when it very cold and the rain is stackable for 6 months, nothing that you want to be caught outside in. So I wondering if I should pack a umbrella or at least a rain hat |

Pack an umbrella. Costa Rica is like any tropical/sub-tropical location. The temperature is almost constant so there are not 4 seasons. There are 2 seasons wet and dry. CR rainy season is May to November and dry December to April. Rain is mostly in the afternoon and at times can be heavy. The usual duration is on and off for 3 hours or so but at times it will rain all afternoon or all day. |

I also notice it tends to predictably rain a few hours in the afternoon. I usually take that time for a siesta or an early dayshift snack out of the DR for those few hours.

10 deg North of the equator. Think tropical. When it rains the humidity goes WAY up. 100%. |

I always wear my rubbers when in CR --- Oh wait we are talking about rain right? Serious - unless you are thinking about walking around in a monsoon, just hit the DR or your favorite place early and hole up with a chica for the afternoon until it stops, then go to your next favorite spot and do it again. There is nothing like phucking a nice chica while listening to the rain fall outside. |

If you get caught out in your unawares, this Forum, Newbies Forum and even Transpo Forum has informed us that cheap ponchoes and umbrellas are for sale nearly everywhere. |

 if you stay in the hills of outlying areas,,,,, you will find all but a few hours during the day somewhat cooler and nights much more so..... sitting in bars with soaked feet and jeans really sucks....rubbers are great....small back pack with dry stuff is worth it during the discovery phase.......my 36wX44L jeans and 18EEE Redwings leave small rivers... right off the street  ....Rains daily around 2:00 PM in SJO. Disposable umbrellas appear magically for sale on every corner at 1000 Colones ($2) around this time. Greengo, at 7'4" I bet you blend in damn good amongst the ticos. August and September's 55 to 78 temp range is the bomb in SJO coming from South Florida's hot & humid. |
