Yes! By the time the rain comes, you've got your work done and you're ready to relax. Usually the afternoon rain gives way to sunshine again before dark.
I actually prefer the rainy season. The sun isn’t as intense; prices are better; it isn’t as crowded and there are fewer tourist. I enjoyed outdoor activities until about midday and then enjoy relaxing sleep with the overnight rains. I was there for a week in June, and it only rained consistently during the day one afternoon. We were able to enjoy an Uvita Adventure Day, bike ride, Uvita shopping and Farmer’s Market Visit!!
Thanks Sheila, you have lived in more climates than most people and the fact you choose Costa Rica speaks volumes. And another vote for rainy season as a great time to be here!
Hola Señor Ed. You’re absolutely right about the so called “rainy season”. It doesn’t rain all day as some weather app will show you. 🙄 The first year in Uvita in 2022 the rain totals were higher than the 10 year average. Last year (2023) they were significantly lower to the point of causing issues with the Hydro Generating Plants and water shortages especially in the Guanacaste region. This year (2024) seems quite normal, and there are days in a row that it doesn’t rain at all. Most mornings are sunny and warm and the evenings are much cooler (18-20’c) than say in Dec-April, which I like. I also collect rain water for some of my house plants this time of year, it’s much better for them. I’ve notice the birds are much more plump around this time of year with all the fruits and nuts they’re able to access. As for the bird feather, my guess is it’s from a Vulture. 🦃
Rainy season has it's pros and cons. For a wildlife enthusiast like me, a nice rainfall awakens all the frogs, beetles, birds etc. But driving from A to B can be a tricky thing. I think, the best time are the "transition seasons". And it's quite amazing, that the Caribbean Coast has it's own kind of weather. You can be pretty sure to receive a downpour every night. About the feather, we are not sure here: could be that of a toucan or a parrot?
I've never been in Costa Rica in the rainy season. I only know from a friend in Tamarindo that there is just nothing going on. This Jan-Feb it was raining hard in Uvita as well and my clothes sometimes never dried... looking forward to experiencing the rainy season soon!
@@CostaRicaStory I'm not much of a nightlife person! Rather be out in nature! I used to be a landscaper/gardener and loved it but the weather in Austria isn't always too nice.... but I still loved working in nature!

You got that right. The smart ones come down this time of year, save money and dont let a little late afternoon storm slow them down.

The frogs do get pretty happy when it rains, but I am sure you have heard the complaint of the mono Congo when it starts to rain😅

There is always plenty to do here in Uvita as far as nature and wildlife, if you are talking nightlife not so much😅

There's no such thing as nothing going on in Costa Rica. Everything is better with less tourists and cooler weather!

Ha ha, I am going to get myself in trouble with those futbol shirts😅
Rainy season is my favorite season 🤗
Igualmente🙂🤙
Relaxing enjoying and drinking Beer watching the Rain
I would bet its from a toucan.
I am inclined to think so or possibly Macaw?
looks like an under feather from a crow
Whatever it is it was very pretty.
