As some of you know I have been traveling the Central America for several years but always during the Canadian winters. This means of course, that it is the dry season in Central America and rain is basically non-existant from Oct to March.
Well this is my first trip during the rainy season and as you know from my first post it can bucket down rain here. I haven’t really written much about the rain but I have had a few questions emailed to me about it so I figured I should try to explain.
The rainy season just means that it can (and will) rain. The rain is not constant but there is usually rain five days out of the week (2 days a week with no rain). Now normally this rain will come in the late afternoon or early evening and last a couple of hours. There have been occasions on this trip when it rained early in the afternoon (such as the day of my arrival) and there have been times when it rained from the afternoon until the following morning but that is unusual.
The rain doesn’t really interfere with one’s activities. You just have plan for it. For example, you get all of the stuff done that you can in the mornings and early afternoon and make no plans for the late afternoon. This is usually not a problem as siesta time is about 2 PM and, for me, catching a few winks during a rain storm is great.
The other advantage is that the rain will drop the temperature as well. So not only does the rain keep everything nice a green but helps moderate the temperature as well.
