Nicaragua Climate and Weather

Nicaragua has a tropical climate with two seasons. The wet season from June to January is defined by short heavy rainfalls that can occur daily.  On the east coast rains can last longer into the year. The dry season from December to May has almost no rain although temperature differences between the two seasons are slight. Temperature fluctuations result from elevation. These range from sea level and lowlands to highlands and highland peaks. Lowland daytime temperatures average above 86°F (30°C) with sometimes 84 percent humidity and highlands above 75F° (24°C).
