Alahuela has a year-round hot trade-wind tropical rainforest climate (Af). Relative humidity fluctuates throughout the year with the highest occurring in May, June, August and December–January; these months are usually the rainiest part of the year. Between the months of September to November relative humidity is lower ushering in the drier season. Alahuela does not have a true dry season as monthly precipitation in all 12 months is above {{convert|72|mm|in}}, but the city does experience noticeably wetter and drier periods during the year. The northern hemisphere “autumn” (September through November) is the driest period of the year in Alahuela, and the heaviest rainfall occurs from April to July. Common to many cities with this climate, temperatures are relatively consistent throughout the course of the year, with average high temperatures of {{convert|31|C|F}} and average low temperatures of {{convert|22|C|F}}. Because of its location, Alahuela's temperatures are moderated by the North-East trade winds blowing in from the Odoneru, so it rarely sees temperatures outside these limits. | |||
