Costa Rica presents a tropical climate characterized, in general, by high temperatures and abundant rains during much of the year. The most important annual variation in the climate is due to rain.
The influence of the sea Caribbean and the ocean Pacifico, to the east and west, and the smallness of the territory, mean that most of the elements of the climate do not present large annual oscillations.
Fundamentally we can distinguish hot tropical climates, with an average 24º and abundant rains from May to November on the coasts especially.
In the central lands milder and moderate climates with an average of 20º and less rainfall. As in the plain of Guanacaste, the Nicoya Peninsula and the Central Valley.
In areas above 1.500 meters we can speak of cooler and drier climates with an average of 16º. This is the case of some valleys and the west of the Talamanca mountain ranges and Central Volcanic.
