Want a Weather Forecast in Costa Rica? Las Pintas!

In Costa Rica everyone always says you can never predict the weather right?
Wrong, Ticos have been doing it for years!



Does it work? Who knows!
But there is a farmer’s tradition that begins with each new year.

How does it work?
Each day corresponds to the month of the year… for example if the 1st  is a sunny beautiful day then January will have sunny beautiful weather, if the 2nd of January is raining then the month of February will be a rainy month and so on..
Meaning, if it rains on the 1st of January the prediction is that the month of January will be rainy, if the 2nd is sunny then the month of February will be sunny.

Many Costarrican farmers used this method before we all started talking about climate change and global warming.


Nowadays it would be very different for us to predict the weather with the crazy trends that are happening like cold snaps, drought  and flooding..

Proof that back then life was simpler.


We will have to see what 2014 brings.
