CRI: Drought - 06-2026 - ENSO Phenomenon - El Niño Phase 2026-2027

In the first days of May, in most climatic regions, accumulated rainfall values are lower than normal, a closing with deficit conditions of -50% was projected for this month in the North Pacific, while the Central Pacific, South Pacific and Central Valley with -20% decrease compared to the historical average. On May 21, the IMN issued a bulletin indicating that the ENSO phenomenon (El Niño Southern Oscillation), will influence the climate of Costa Rica for the remainder of 2026, in such a way that rainfall deficits would be between 25% - 50%, in the different climatic regions of the Pacific Slope and even the Central Valley and the Northern Zone. These same regions will also be affected by temperature increases that would range between 1 - 2 degrees Celsius, which would be presented gradually. In a session of the Technical Advisory Commission on the ENSO Phenomenon (COENOS), on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, the institutions agree to declare that the ENSO phenomenon in its El Niño phase has been consolidated and is already affecting the different productive sectors of the country, so it is concluded that the climatic regions with immediate impact are the following: North Pacific, Central Pacific, Central West, Matambú, Los Santos and Capitalina. However, it is entirely possible that episodes of rainfall, typical of tropical latitudes, will occur on both slopes at any time of the year, such as those that have occurred in recent days.
