Veranillo de San Juan to Bring Costa Rica a Break From Heavy Rain

Costa Rica is set to experience a respite from heavy rain as the Veranillo de San Juan, a traditional late-June dry period, moves in, offering sunnier mornings and less frequent afternoon showers. This seasonal phenomenon is expected to bring much-needed relief after weeks of persistent downpours, improving conditions across the Pacific coast and Central Valley. While the break is welcome, it’s crucial for residents to remain vigilant about potential flooding as the transition can still bring localized heavy rain.
