Rainy Season Climate in Guanacaste
Costa Rica has two main seasons.
- Dry season (summer/verano): lasts from December to April, characterized by sunny days and lower humidity.
- Rainy season (green season/invierno): lasts from May to November, bringing showers (often in the afternoon/night) and lush green landscapes.
The rainy season, particularly from September through mid-November, is a good opportunity for digital nomads to enjoy Costa Rica’s stunning landscapes, as you can find the best deals at this time. Although it rains frequently during these months, it rarely rains continuously throughout the day. Many passing storms bring heavy rain, but they usually last for less than 30 minutes.
Although Costa Rica can be affected by rain from tropical storms or hurricanes, that won’t be too much of an inconvenience when you stay in Costa Rica for a month or two. There will still be plenty of time for fun in the sun. The key is to take advantage of the good weather whenever possible. The morning is usually the sunniest time of the day—so get up and get outside early!
And the good news is that the rain engages your senses and helps calm your nervous system. Is there anything better than taking a nap or curling up with a book when it’s raining?
Here are some reasons why the rainy season in Costa Rica is so peaceful:
- The sound is soothing and rhythmic—experience it as a type of lullaby.
- Rain connects you to nature. Smell the wet earth, feel the cool air, listen to its pitter-patter—ground yourself by connecting to your senses.
- Rain reminds us to rest and get cozy. Slow down to shift into the state of being instead of doing during a storm.
- Rain is cleansing and renewing. Go out and dance in it. Let it release your tension while also washing away what no longer serves you!
