The rainy season on the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica really turned out to be much like August here in Florida - sunny mornings, then sometime during the afternoon the heavy rain comes ... and goes. We just don't call it a rainy season here - we talk about the time of afternoon thunderstorms. We have thunder and lightning and power outages, which were less prevalent while we were in Costa Rica. Everyone moving to Florida should be sure to have surge protectors.
Of course with Flo somewhere in the state, rain is a constant. Ah, well, it's much better than a hurricane.

If we are close to the mountains in Hawaii we get Mauka Showers. The clouds come out drop 10 minutes or so worth of rain and move back towards the mountains. It can do that a few times a day.
Randy - is it those showers that give Hawaii such wonderful rainbows?
