The varied landscapes of Nicaragua complicate the climate, but the dry season reliably begins in December and finishes in April. Bear in mind that it can really heat up during the months of March and April. Then follows the wet season, when humid conditions dominate, with refreshing regular rainfall. The daily rainfall is a year-round feature on the Atlantic coast, though the temperature remains warm all year too. As you would expect, the mountainous regions tend to have slightly cooler temperatures than the lowlands.
