Eternal spring-refers as Guatemala is called to a temperate climate that enjoy the Highlands and exploit for cultivation. The two cash crops coffee and flowers thrive in this consistent environment.
This fame remains today, although it can be misleading. While in Guatemala you comfortable spring winds, warm and humid tropical weather and very cold nights (below 0 ° C), all in the same day, depending on where in Guatemala experienced can you.
The average annual temperature in the Highlands over 3000 m (9840 ft) is 15 ° C (59 ° F), while the average in the lowlands 25 ° C (77 ° F). In the lowlands and the Pacific Coast that most of the fishermen concerned, a temperature of 38 ° C (86 ° F) can reach or later-with peak temperature and humidity developments.
The term itself "Land of eternal spring" was first used the image of a country and the countryside was in perpetual flowering.Distance from the coast, the country rises to the volcanoes and the climate is moderate and ideal for cultivation-hence the bloom from month to month. flower cultivation and export (especially Roses) remains a major industry in Guatemala today-can in fact one of the largest rose farms in the world are found just outside the old capital of Antigua.
The tag is, however, is a bit misleading-there are effective only two seasons: the dry season and rainy season The longer season. is the rainy season, which lasts from May to October (often with a pleasant break in August) followed by the dry season lasts from January to april.
Guatemala boasts some of the most consistently flat seas of the world-often as far away as 50 miles it can quietly and almost like a lake. observing the geography of the coastline, you can see how the waters form a large protected Bowl with Mexico at the top and Panama at the bottom.
This combined with the protection of the prevailing wind by the Highlands and the ridge of volcanoes means that the coast and coastal almost free of charge on an annual basis, with the end of February to may almost guarantee flat sea breeze.
During the dry season and the height of the sailfishing-season from November to may, it is very unusual to see any problems with weather sportfishing fleet capacity to depart from the dock of influence. Even during the wet season, the weather offshore can vary considerably among the coastal weather-but there is definitely a greater propensity for weather delays or to be "blown" in the summer months.
However, remember that just as the wind is providing some cool effects while fishing-it remains mandatory, however, careful high factor sunscreen.This is a must when fishing offshore throughout the year in Guatemala, together with high quality sunglasses and a wide brimmed hat to keep your head to screen.
