A cold front is expected to hit Costa Rica this weekend, according to the Weather Institute.


A cold front is the leading edge of a cooler mass of air at ground level that replaces a warmer mass of air and is positioned within a deep surface trough with little pressure. While the front passes, temperatures drop sharply, gusty winds arise and thunderstorms may occur.






On Thursday, the natural phenomenon passed across Honduras. It is expected to impact Costa Rica from Friday, Nov. 22 to Sunday, Nov. 24.


While the cold front moves over the country, experts predict cooler temperatures ranging from 55°F to 70°F.


Strong gusts between 18 to 50 mph are expected. Experts recommend taking measures since severe winds can damage roofs, power wires, signs or trees.









As a cold front travels over the country, the National Emergency Commission issued a weather notice.



A Green Alert was issued in the provinces of San José, Guanacaste, Cartago, Heredia, Limón and Alajuela. This first level of warning directs emergency committees to keep informed of how the natural event is developing. It indicates that there is an elevated probability that an emergency will develop nearby.



The central and northern Pacific Coast (Puntarenas Province) does not have an alert.


As of Friday, no yellow, orange or red weather warnings have been issued.



Experts advise taking measures owing to the possibility of severe winds damaging roofs, electrical lines, signs, and trees.



Boat captains are advised to take additional measures when sailing along the Pacific or Caribbean shores due to the risk of large waves.



Pilots should be more cautious while flying small aircraft over mountainous regions.



Authorities encourage people to avoid controlled burning since strong winds can cause a small fire to spread quickly.



A.M. Costa Rica encourages readers to share this weather warning with their communities.



According to the experts, in November the final rainy days of the current green season will be gradually replaced by sunny days across the country.



The National Institute of Meteorology, or Weather Institute, is the state-owned agency that is tasked with providing weather forecasts, warnings of hazardous weather, and other weather-related products to organizations and the public for protection, safety, and general information.



The National Emergency Commission (CNE) works with people and emergency professionals to strengthen, sustain, and enhance the county's ability to plan for, defend against, respond to, recover from, and reduce any potential hazards.
