He type of climate that there is in a certain region is determined by different conditions among which are altitude, latitude, orientation of the relief, distance to the sea and marine currents, giving guidelines to the so-called “weather” which in turn is supported by other elements such as temperature, pressure, wind, humidity and precipitation to describe the atmospheric conditions in a locality in a short term.
To classify the climate, the system developed by Wladimir Köppen is generally used, although there is also the Thornthwaite system, the latter which also takes into account biological diversity and the effects of climate change on it. Others such as Bergeron and Spacial Synoptic focus on the origin of the air masses that define the climate of a region.
Due to climate change, currently the planet is in a process of redistribution in which some modification, however minimal, in the average annual temperature causes changes in the habitats and their conditions.
In this context, here we leave you the weather for San José this Sunday, November 9.

Costa Rica It is very close to the Tropic of Cancer, which places the Central American country in a tropical zone.
However, The tropical climate in Costa Rican lands is modified by different factors such as relief, that is, mountains, plains and plateaus; the isthmic condition; and the oceanic influence, such as winds or sea breezes, the temperature of marine currents and the general circulation of the atmosphere.
The IMN divides Costa Rica into two large climatic regions: the Pacific Regime and the Caribbean Regime.
The Caribbean Regime is characterized by having two periods of rainfall which run from May to August and from November to January. The rainiest month in this season is December, precipitation occurs more regularly in the mornings and evenings.
