San Jose 

The capital city of San Jose boasts an average temperature of 72 degrees F year round. The suburbs of San Jose claim to have the "best climate in the world" - a perpetual spring. The northwestern area of the country is generally more arid and the southern zone experiences a rainy season for several months of the year.
 

Dominical

Dominical is in the southern Pacific zone of Costa Rica. Located at approximately nine degrees latitude, the weather is tropical. Temperatures do not vary much from month to month (75 to 85 degrees F. year round).

As in other countries in the tropics, there are two predominant seasons. June through November is the winter season. Mornings and early afternoons are sunny, with rain showers occurring in the late afternoons and evenings. Temperatures are generally in the cooler range during the winter months. While rains may be heavy, hurricanes are very rare on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. December through May is considered the summer season. Rain may occur from time to time, but the weather is generally dry and warm. Regardless of the season, exposure to the sun can be intense and sunscreen and protective clothing are highly recommended.
