This is video from the 1st real RAIN STORM of the 2015 Rainy Season
(at least in Escazu near the Country Club - at my base.
We had HAIL literally the size of 500-colon • 50¢-US$ pieces & 3/4-1" thick (didn't have my camera working for that. Note the storm only lasted about 20 minutes - but it was 20 HARD minutes).
SO WHEN IS RAINY SEASON IN COSTA RICA?
#1 - it ALL depends on where you are. I'll elaborate on it later but at least in the most heavily populated area of ExPats - MY observation in my nearly 10 years living in the ESCAZU•Central Valley•San Jose, Costa Rica area - is that Rainy Season doesn't really get going until around late May-ish/June-ish till around November/December-ish with the heaviest rains around September-October.
Also, the higher in the mountains you go, the higher your chances of getting rain are.

Standard Rule of Thumb is if it's HOT in the morning, you heighten the chances of having a rain storm in the afternoon.
Bottom line - between these months - you're WISE to have an Umbrella &/or Rain Poncho with you.
