San José has a pleasant, though at times sticky, climate all year round. Cooling rain is at its heaviest from May to November, usually in the afternoons. Coinciding with the coolest period of the year, December is the most vibrant and thus most crowded time to be in San José with a series of festivals leading up to New Year.

Weather

San José experiences an 'eternal spring' with daily temperatures around 25°C (77°F) all year-round. Come prepared for rain if you plan on visiting between May and October.
