ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

RAINY SEASON 2015 - What are the predictions for the start of Rainy Season 2015 in Costa Rica


According to the
Instituto Meteorológico Nacional – IMN
Facebook.com/InstitutoMeteorologicoNacional.Prensa  •  IMN.ac.cr
(the National Meteorological Institute [the weather guys]), they're predicting the 2015 Rainy Season in Costa Rica is expected to begin AROUND:


PACIFIC - SOUTH  -  April 1-5-ish
PACIFIC - CENTRAL  -  April 26-30-ish
CENTRAL VALLEY  -  May 6-10-ish
PACIFIC - NORTH  -  May 16-20-ish

They're saying that they expect us to be effected by El Niño this year - which means a DECREASE in rain (yikes - NOT good all around. At least Costa Rica has LOTS of green areas!).

It also looks like around October-November - the Comisión Nacional de Emergencias – CNE (the National Emergency Commission) will be installing a new Radar system in the IMN building in Barrio Aranjuez, in San José that will notify them 2 hours in advance of big downpours - though at first this will only be in the Central Valley. 

I wonder if they'll notify us of this??  Maybe on their Facebook page (above)???

It will also track the speed of ash expulsion from volcanoes (not sure if that's just for the Central Valley also).
