Rainy Season in Costa Rica is great for rafting!The weather in Costa Rica is everyone's favorite topic of conversation and the traveler's number one concern.  Costa Rica enjoys incredible weather almost year round, with temperatures averaging between 75f - 85f , and water temperatures averaging 80f.  Weather conditions do vary by location, San Jose tends to be cooler and more mild, the Nicoya Peninsula and Guanacaste drier and hotter, the Caribbean coast is usually wetter and more humid.

There are two weather seasons in Costa Rica - green and dry.   The dry season runs between mid-December and April and the green between May and November. The dry season is warm and sunny, and, corresponds with the Northern Hemisphere's winter, making Costa Rica the perfect vacation get-away during the cold winter months. 

It is during the green season that Costa Rica receives the majority of it's rainfall.  With October and November being the wettest months.
