| Nicaragua Climate |
Climate Nicaragua has a tropical climate. Just as in the other Central American countries there are two seasons, the dry and the raining season. During the dry season (from January to June) there is no rain and trees and plants start to dry out. Once the rains come around June or July everything starts growing and the yellow plants and leafless trees turn green and start blossoming. In August and September it often rains every day. Fortunately it only rains for a short period of time and these are often spectacular, tropical downpours. In the eastern part of the country it rains more than in the west. There are three temperature zones in Nicaragua. In the lowlands (Pacific and Atlantic coast) temperatures vary roughly between 22° C at night and 30° C during the day. Temperatures can reach 38° C in May. The central part of the country is about 5° C cooler and in the mountains in the north it's about 10° C cooler. |
