Climate information is increasingly relevant to society. (GlobeLiveMedia/Jovani Perez)

He type of weather that there is in a certain place is determined by various conditions among which the altitude, the latitude, the orientation of the relief, the distance to the sea and the sea currents and gives guidelines to the so-called “weather weather” which in turn is supported by other elements such as the temperature, pressure, wind, humidity and precipitation describe the atmospheric conditions of a territory in the short term.

To catalog the climate, the system developed by Wladimir Köppen is generally used, although there is also the Thornthwaite system, the latter which also takes into account biological diversity and the effects of climate change on it. Others, such as Bergeron and Spacial Synoptic, are interested in the origin of the air masses that define the climate of a region.

Due to climate change, currently the planet is in a process of redistribution in which any change, however small, in the average annual temperature leads to changes in habitats and their conditions.

In this context, we leave you here the weather forecast for Cartago.

The probability of precipitation for this Thursday in Cartago it is 40% during the day and 55% all night.

During this time, cloudiness will be 46% during the day and 99% at night.

There province of Carthage It includes two climatic sub-regions identified by the National Meteorological Institute (IMN): the Caribbean region and the central valley.

He central valley It covers the northwestern part of the province, where the city of Cartago is located, which in turn is divided into two main regions, the Eastern Central Valley and the Western Central Valley.

In the Eastern Central Valley the weather is affected by Pacific and Caribbean conditions, with equatorial and trade winds, with cloudiness and light rain, with average temperatures ranging from 10 to 20 degrees.

While in the Western Central Valley the climate depends on the altitude, since In the lower zones the climate is dry, in the intermediate zones it is temperate, and in the upper zones it is cold and rainy.with average temperatures of 16 to 26 degrees.

In both valleys the rains fall from April to November, with a slight drop in June. December to March is the dry season.

Costa Rica It is very close to the Tropic of Cancer, which places the Central American country in a tropical zone.

However, The tropical climate of the Costa Rican lands is modified by different factors like the relief, that is to say the mountains, the plains and the plateaus; isthmic condition; and oceanic influence, such as winds or sea breezes, the temperature of sea currents and the general circulation of the atmosphere.

The IMN divides Costa Rica into two major climatic regions: the Pacific Diet and the Caribbean Diet.

The Caribbean regime is characterized by two rainy periods which run from May to August and from November to January. The rainiest month of this season is December, precipitation occurs more regularly in the morning and at night.This area has no defined dry seasonfor even in the least rainy months there is considerable rainfall, which is February and March, as well as September and October.

For its part, the Pacific regime has a defined dry and rainy season. The dry season is from December to March, while the rainy season is between May and October. Precipitation is present regularly in the afternoon and at night.
