San Jose Airport Experiences Flight Delays Due to Weather

Heavy fog and rain at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San Jose, Costa Rica, have led to flight delays and several diversions. International flights to destinations including Houston, Mexico City, Orlando, New York, and Miami have been impacted. Additionally, some domestic SANSA services to locations such as Drake Bay, La Fortuna, Limón, Nosara, and Cóbano have been canceled, according to The Tico Times.

The current weather conditions are attributed to an active Intertropical Convergence Zone and a tropical depression in the Pacific. Authorities have issued a yellow alert for the Pacific slope and Central Valley regions, with a green alert in effect for other areas of Costa Rica, as reported by The Tico Times. The rainy season typically brings unsettled weather, which may also lead to road disruptions from saturated soils and localized flooding.

Travelers planning to fly to or from San Jose, Costa Rica, are advised to expect possible changes to their itineraries through Monday evening and Tuesday. Airlines, not the airport, are responsible for deciding on delays and cancellations based on safety protocols. It is recommended that travelers monitor their airline applications and official airport boards for the most up-to-date information before heading to the airport, according to The Tico Times.
