Rainy Season Begins As
Predicted
The rainy season arrived
on Friday as predicted
for the Central Valley
and the Central Pacific,
according to Max Mena of
the nstituto
Meteorológico Nacional (IMN)
- national weather
service.
The IMN says that a low
pressure system over the
Central Valley yesterday
morning is a clear
indicator of the start
of the rainy season that
will last through
November.
Another indicator of the
start of the rainy
seaosn is the vendors on
the streets selling
umbrellas as heavy rain
in most areas of the
Central Valley and
thunderstorms and
lightning in Alajuela,
north of the airport.
The Comisión Nacional de
Emergencia (CNE) -
national emergency
commission - reported no
problems.
Although temperatures
remained normal, it felt
colder by the grey
skies. At night, fog is
typical, making driving
hazardous in some areas
and the reason for
cancelled flights at
night.
The Pacific North (Guanacaste)
is beginning its
transition to the rainy
season as it is expected
to kick in the next week
or two.
