The downpour halted in the Pacific northwest and decreased quick over the greater part of the west slant. Chances are really great that the solid El Niño example will likewise dry out the last couple of months of 2015.
Early December climate on the Pacific and in the focal heaps of Costa Rica is somewhat of a bet. Regularly the downpours are decreasing and its basic to have flawless shoreline climate the entire month. On the other hand, once in a while (in 2010) the blustery season precedes full drive straight up through Christmas. Whether it's drying out or as yet raining hard the regular example of sunny mornings and evening or evening showers wins.
On the Caribbean side of the focal mountains it's wet toward the start of the month and getting wetter by the end. Flooding is conceivable, particularly in the upper east marshes where polar air pushes over the Gulf of Mexico getting heat and dampness then storing it as persistent days of downpour alluded to locally as temporales del Atlantico.

A day or two of temperatures in the mid nineties is conceivable at low rises and particularly on the Nicoya coast amid December. Around San José and the Central Valley temperatures are 5-10 degrees cooler and temperatures at high rises more than 5,000ft can be 20 or even 30 degrees lower in December.

It's the heart of the high season for global voyagers and the center of the school occasions for Ticos so exercises and housing top off rapidly. Propelled reservations (as a long ways ahead as six months or a year for a portion of the more well known inns) are unequivocally exhorted.
Getting Around
December (particularly the first 50% of the month) can be dubious on the streets. Much the same as November the earth is completely soaked from months of downpour and any huge tempest is prone to set off avalanches that as often as possible reason ruin with getting around. CONAVI tries hard to have things tidied up by the occasions yet we've seen each real street in Costa Rica close down for a week or more eventually in December (once it was about each one of every one of them in the meantime!)
Costs and Availability for Travel in December
Lodgings and lodges have higher crest season valuing (20% to half more than high season) around Christmas and New Years Eve and numerous resorts and stops have required meals and parties on those two evenings (normally $50 to $100 per individual).
