What is the climate like?

San José has a very mild climate.  It is located in the Central Valley of the country which makes for a comfortable temperature year round.  There are two seasons in the country of Costa Rica: rainy and dry.  The dry season typically is from Dec. – April.  The average temperatures during the entire year can range from mid-60s (considered quite chilly by some) to mid-70s.  The rainy season goes from May – Nov.  During this period, the sun usually shines until midday and then it’s likely that it will rain for the entire afternoon.  Umbrellas become an additional appendage during this time. 

Other countries the program visits could be warmer or cooler depending upon the time of year.
