The coast is hot and humid, especially March to May, and is coolest from December to February. December and March may have spells of continuous rain for 2-3 days or even weeks. Water shortages are possible at other times of the year.
The coast typically has light winds but the southern areas can be affected the Papagayos. These Caribbean winds are accelerated through low gaps in the mountains that run the length of the Central American isthmus. In certain conditions the winds reach gale force and raise large, steep seas on the Pacific side. Improved forecasting now allow cruisers to avoid the worst periods.
