For anyone that is familiar with Costa Rica you know that it has two seasons. The rainy season and the dry season. We in real estate like to call the rainy season the green season because after you get use to the afternoon showers you start to enjoy the rain. There is also a special time of year that almost everyone loves and that is when the green season changes into the dry season.

I've decided to blog on this today because I feel this past weekend the country had a chance to enjoy some of the nicest weather of the year which might be an early sign of the changing of seasons or at least a taste of what is to come very soon. Without getting into scientific terms I want to describe to you what the change of seasons in Costa Rica consist of. If you own some property in Costa Rica or are looking for some real estate and you show up during this time it will make your decision tough because you will fall in love with every place you visit.

What we experience is a drop in temperature in the Central Valley to around the high 60's. This temperature is related to winds which breeze through the Central Valley from morning until night. The mountain ranges that lead out to the Pacific coast look as if they open the valley up to the ocean allowing for a view of the ocean blue from almost all foot hills of the Central Valley. To go along with this feeling of euphoria from day to night you will notice it is not necessary to visit the beach to view some of the finest sunsets. The sea looks as if it were a brand new copper penny as the sunset bounces off it. The whole valley is filled with the 5:40pm sunsets. You mix all of this with what usually comes off a month of Costa Rica's heaviest rains and it really allows everyone to just sit back and relax for a bit.
