Is Costa Rica in August unbearable?
My husband and I would like to visit Costa Rica, but I am a teacher so the only vacation time I have is in the summer, when I know it’s the country’s rainy season. Is it even worth it? Or is the rain really annoying and frustrating? I am hoping the rain is warm and doesn’t stop you from enjoying things.
The rains in August are primarily in the afternoons, and it’s really not bad. You’ll likely find that when you awake on an August morning in Costa Rica, it will be sunny and warm, and in the afternoon around 3:30-4:00pm, it will get a little overcast, then rain for a couple of hours, then stop.
The travel calendars say that rainy season here starts in May, which they need to change universally, as we really dont see heavy rains until September and October.
I say go ahead with your plans to visit Costa Rica in August as many do. You’ll love the country and it’s people.
