Climate of Guanacaste

 

Guanacaste experiences little rain and consistent heat from November to April, and a wet season from late May to November. Its hot, dry climate makes tropical dry forests to be the province’s natural vegetation type. The one exception is the highland portion of the province which consists of the upper Pacific-facing slopes of the volcanoes in the Guanacaste Cordillera and the northern half of the Tilarán Cordillera. The cool, moist conditions along these ridges support luxuriant cloud forests.

The main reason for the diversity in Costa Rica’s weather is the various elevations at which different parts of the country are located. For example   Guanacaste has a dry arid climate as it sits on the lowlands.

The perfect time to visit Guancaste is year around. No matter if you visit during the dry season or during the wet season, both provide spectacular advantages.
The dry season affords the serious sun lover with plenty of tanning time, while the wet season brings the trees into bloom with explosions of colors and fragances. The rolling hills become carpeted in brilliant green.

 

 

 

 

 

The Effect of Climate of Guanacaste

The climate of Guanacaste, basically depends on wind patterns, temperature and rainfall. An example is the climate of the basin in the Gulf of Nicoya which is determined by the influence of trade winds and westerly winds. The dry season is from October to May, because the trade winds occur most out of this area while preventing moisture from reaching the Pacific. The drought is more severe in the lower parts of the basin. The highlands have a moisture deficit which comprises approximately 35 days in the plains and coastal areas takes approximately 70-150 days.
