Costa Rica is set for a day of high temperatures and sunshine this Sunday, according to the National Meteorological Institute (IMN). While much of the country will enjoy clear skies, there's a possibility of isolated showers in certain areas.

A significant weather feature expected is the presence of strong wind gusts, with speeds potentially reaching up to 95 km/h. These winds may also carry Saharan dust, a phenomenon that can affect air quality and weather patterns. The IMN is monitoring these conditions closely.

The forecast indicates a generally warm day across the nation, with residents advised to stay hydrated and take precautions against the heat. The combination of high temperatures and strong winds requires attention, especially for outdoor activities.

The IMN's report provides a clear outlook for the day, allowing the public to prepare for the anticipated weather conditions, including the potential for localized rainfall and the impact of the strong winds and Saharan dust.
