Costa Rica is in the same time zone as U.S. Central Standard but does not observe daylight savings.

The weather question is a common one because of Costa Ricas tropical climate. In general the climate in Costa Rica is very consistent, with average temperatures staying in the same range year round.

During the dry-season (December to April) you can generally expect warm, dry days with showers (depending on geographic location). In the wet-season (May to November) you can generally expect warm mornings with light showers in the afternoons (depending on geographic location). However, these seasons vary on where you are in the country, so they arent necessarily a very good reference if you are trying to choose your vacation time to miss rain. Our advice - the best time to come is when you can get away!
