The National Meteorological Institute reports that this Saturday, June 27, the country will experience stable weather conditions due to low humidity. This situation will be partly attributed to the presence of Saharan dust over the Caribbean Sea basin. Additionally, trade winds will remain strong due to rising atmospheric pressure in that basin.
The IMN forecasts little precipitation across most of the country. However, it does not rule out brief showers along the Limón coast due to storms that could form offshore, near the coastline. During the afternoon, the highest probability of rain will be concentrated over the country’s mountain ranges.
In the Central Valley, skies will be mostly clear to partly cloudy in the early morning and morning. Cloud cover will increase in the afternoon, with isolated thunderstorms expected in the west. In San José, the low will be 19.3 °C and the high will be 26.6 °C.
