Weather forecasts, based on observation and mathematical modelshelp predict the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place based on various relationships such as temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation or wind.

Weather forecasts are practices practiced for hundreds of years, even before the Christian era, based essentially on the observation of the configuration of the clouds, the wind, the time of the year, although initially these they did not succeed.

It was only with the emergence of new technologies (such as computers) that mathematical models began to be implemented, which made it possible to make more accurate predictions, becoming a fundamental factor for the transport (land, sea or air), agriculture, tourism, disaster prevention, public health and even military operationsbeyond deciding whether or not to carry an umbrella or whatever outfit become.

Below is the weather forecast for the next few hours in Cartago:

During the day temperature it will reach a maximum of 23 degrees, the probability of rain It will be 44%, with 52% cloudiness, while wind gusts will reach 68 kilometers per hour.

As for UV rays, they should reach a level of up to 9.

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 includes 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 parts the climate is dry, in the middle it is temperate and in the upper parts it is cold and rainy.with average temperatures of 16 to 26 degrees.

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

Costa Ricabeing a country located between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, is defined as 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 the first is from May to August and the second 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 begins in December and ends in March, while the rainy season occurs between May and October. Rains occur regularly in the afternoon and at night.
