A TWELVE MONTH RESORT
Nature on display in all its glory
Nosara’s Climate
Though The Beach House is truly a 12-month resort, there are distinctive seasons to behold in the Nosara region, each with its own unique distinguishing traits that draw different people for different reasons during that particular time of year. Full-time residents enjoy the constant warmth yet changing precipitation patterns that bring out each season’s irresistible character and charm.
Nosara is hot year-round, with average daytime temperatures in the mid 80’s to low 90’s (Fahrenheit), with consistently clear skies from December through April and a “green season” from June through September when more precipitation is present. In short, the “dry” season is during what is considered the traditional winter months in the U.S. mainland.
During May through August, Nosara averages 5” of rain per month, but it is the kind of light, beautiful rain that brings forth lush vegetation, cools you off a bit following the heat of the day and then goes away. Compare that to Chicago in May, which receives a little over 4” of rain on average with a high temperature of 70 degrees. Or contrast it to August in New York, with its average monthly rainfall of 5” with a high temp of 85 degrees, but with no lush vegetation to enjoy in the hot, muggy city. It’s easy to see why most of the locals appreciate this time of year the most.
September and October are the wettest months, receiving 9” of rain per month on average, with high temps in the mid-80’s, compared to Seattle’s “rainy season” (November through January), which receives nearly 6” of rain per month, but with an average high temperature of 49 degrees Fahrenheit. Brrr!
September and October are also the quieter months, when everything is green and in full bloom. There are more moths and butterflies and nature is on display in all its glory. Many visitors to the area prefer this period, when availability is at its best, with opportunities to take advantage of extended stays at The Beach House of up to two months.
