Break Out The
Umbrella The
Rainy Season Is
Here, Albeit
Unofficially
Although the
weatherman says
no, the rainy
season is not
upon us in the
Central Valley,
yesterday
afternoon's heavy
rain and
lightning told
another story.
It began shortly
after 2pm when
the skies over
the east of San
José were dark.
One could see
what was to
come, as it does
every afternoon
during the rainy
season. But,
wait, the rainy
season is not
here yet? Or is
it?
Juan Diego
Naranjo of the
Instituto
Meteorológico
Nacional (IMN) -
national weather
service -
explains that
this is typical
of the
transition
period between
the summer or
"dry" and the
winter or
"rainy" season.
Officially the
rainy season
kicks in the
Central Valley
mid May.
However, three
out of the past
five days we
have gotten rain
in the afternoon
and this morning
(Saturday) San
José is clouded
over and
drizzly.
Whatever the
reasons, it is
definitely time
to make sure
that an umbrella
is always at
hand. |
