Costa Rica weather in October varies from one coast to the other, temperatures across the country are about as low as they ever get which means averages around 80 °F (27 °C) with lows overnight about 68 to 76 °F (20-24 °C).
It’s the rainiest month of the year in Costa Rica, but before you leave this post and reschedule your trip, let me tell you why I believe October is one of the best months to visit Costa Rica.
Many believe rain is the number one enemy of tourism and even if it’s true that a lot of people avoid a destination during the rainy season, it turns out more experienced travelers know it’s also the green season.
Green season is the perfect opportunity to enjoy Costa Rica’s breathtaking landscapes and attractions relatively empty of other travelers.
The rain in Costa Rica doesn’t actually last for hours and days on end. It’s usually short, powerful downpours that last for a few hours and then clear. The rest of the day is often warm, dry, and even cloudless.
