Please put your concerns aside. Costa Rica is a great place to go weather wise any time of year. Sure, the rainy season starts in early May and runs thru November. Have been there DOZENS of times during that period and have never been inconvenienced one bit. To be sure, the coastal areas have a higher temp and humidity, but even having said that, I had no problems. San Jose' in on the central plateau so it is cooler with less humidity.

Even at either coast, if you feel a bit too humidified, there are elevated areas ( especially on the Central and South Central Pacific coast ), were you can get away to a cooler, less humid spot.

Hey, not to worry,..my favorite time to visit CR,..and it's not just for the lower hotel rates either,...the short rain spells actually feel good and refreshing.

It will be hot and humid in coastal areas. At higher elevations the temp is in the 70s and 80s with less humidity...so it depends on where you are. Take very light wt. cotton clothing. If you are going to higher elevation take a sweater or jacket for cool evenings. Take a good supply of OFF bug repellent.. "Rainy season" means there may be very heavy showers in the afternoon and at night...not usually rain all day. There can be a heavy shower, then the sun comes back out. Sometimes rainy season does not begin til June...depends on where you are...elevation is the key to the weather in Costa Rica.

We ALL know about the 10 points for best answer,,,you don't have to mention it a hundred times, like it's something we haven't heard before.

Costa Rica is very hot, she is a beautiful girl with giant boobs and a nice big booty.

My family and I are planning a vacation to Costa Rica for two weeks in May.

Is it hot during May?

And how is the humidity?

What should we pack in our suitcases clothing wise?

I have read online that May is the starting of the rain season, and I am hoping to hear that we won't come across much rain when we are there...
