Like other areas in Central America, Nicaragua's climate varies
according to altitude.
The Pacific lowlands are almost always hot, with daytime
temperatures in the 80s and 90s. Granada is usually slightly
cooler than the other Pacific coast cities due to breezes off Lake
Nicaragua. León is usually the hottest inland city on the Pacific.
The Pacific dry season or summer becomes very dusty, especially
when the wind begins to below in January. The mountainous
region in the north is much cooler than the lowlands. The
Caribbean part of the country is hot and wet, and rain can fall
heavily even in the "dry" season
As in most tropical regions, Nicaragua has a dry season (la
temporada seca
) or summer, from November to May, and a rainy
season (invierno), which runs from May to October. Nicaragua
can be called the land of eternal summer in that there is not much
difference in temperature from month to month, or from season
to season. In general, average temperatures range between 80 to
90 degrees F during the dry season and between 85 to 95 degrees
F in the rainy season. The lowest average temperature is 77
degrees F and the highest is 104 degrees F. Managua and Pacific


part of Nicaragua are usually far less rainy than most of Central
America.
