The climate of San Carlos (Nicaragua)
San Carlos lies in the extreme south of Nicaragua on lake Nicaragua
not far from the border with Costa Rica. San Carlos lies in the
province of San Juan where the river San Juan flows into lake
Nicaragua. That is why the place is of great strategic importance to
Nicaragua and particularly to the transport of goods. In San Carlos
there is still an old fortress from which you have a splendid view of
lake Nicaragua and the river delta.
San Carlos has a tropical climate with a clear distinction between the
dry and the wet season. The temperatures here are very pleasant
throughout the year and because of the vicinity of the lake there is
mostly an agreeable breeze. Due to the abundant rainfall in the second
half of the year the air humidity can increase considerably here. In
this period tropical storms and hurricanes may also occur.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
