Jaco Costa Rica has two distinct seasons, the dry season (Summer), which goes from December until May, and the rainy season (Winter), which goes from June until November. Outside Jaco, the climates may differ as the country is classified as tropical because of how close it is to the equator. The early months of the dry season are the peak season as it is fresh, beautiful weather with cool nights and not too humid. Closer to the end, the humidity and heat will rise with the rain coming. Rainfall during the rainy season differs from every season and can range from 24-hour rainfalls to short little afternoon showers. Each season brings its beauty, and Costa Rica shines all year round.
