Posted by Editor | July 16, 2010 | Categories: Environment | Comments Off
Costa Rica’s National Meteorological Institute (IMN) is predicting that 2010 will be a drier than average year for the South Caribbean zone of Costa Rica.
While on the Pacific side, the El Nino effect is expected to bring much more rain than average (40% higher than average for the Central Pacific, 45% higher for the North Pacific and 20% higher for the South Pacific), the South Caribbean side will get about 15% less rain than normal and the North Caribbean side (Tortuguero) about 5% below normal.
The INM forecast for June, July and August by region of Costa Rica. The first number in the parenthesis is the expected deviation from the normal rainfall, the second number is the maximum deviation possible. Puerto Viejo and Cahuita are in the brown area expected to be in a dry (seco) pattern.
