the Costa Rican National Meteorological Institute, Costa Rica is
officially divided up into six climatic regions:
A note about trade winds:
The weather patterns in Costa Rica are greatly affected by trade winds,
known locally as alisios. These alisios blow with considerable force
from December until February or March. They are responsible for
carrying moisture to the cloud forests of the Tilarán Mountain range
during the dry season. During the rainy season (May-October) these
winds are blocked by warm air masses that develop over the Pacific
slope, leading to calmer winds and rain.
