Best time to visit Limón

Limón has no real season. The best month scores 64 and the worst 48, a spread of just 16 points, so the honest answer to "when should I go" is whenever the flights are cheapest. 4 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

April is the warmest month at 29.7 °C and January the coolest at 27.7 °C — a 2 °C spread across the year. Around 31 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in April and the months either side.

There is a real wet season here. May to October carry the rain — up to 30 wet days in a month — while January to April drop as low as 15. That 15-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Limón, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea never drops below 27.3 °C, so swimming is on the table year round. Daylight barely moves: about 12.7 hours whatever the month, which removes one variable from the decision entirely.

The three strongest months are February, March, January. The one to think twice about is May. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
