When we first moved here at the beginning of the rainy season, Jim’s boss had told me that I should go back to the “States” for October, to escape the rainiest month. But, October has not lived up to this title. We had 5.3 inches of rain in the first three days but that did not last. We had a whopping 17 days without rain. I’m sure that is some kind of a record. We ended up with a total of 13 inches of rainfall.
A friend informed us that it is good to get a lot of rain now because that will limit the number of days in the Spring when they will need to ration the water and electricity (it is hydroelectric). When supplies get sparse they start announcing which cities will “go without” for the day. (Alajuela on lunes, Rohmoser on martes, Escazu on miercoles, etc.)
