As you can see from the image above, there are no clouds very close to Costa Rica. The few that appear in the radar image are a good distance from the coast and are warm clouds. The green and blue spots inside these clouds show precipitation and, as you can see, Costa Rica is seeing none of that as it is all falling over the ocean. Although this picture is fairly zoomed out (in order to be able to see the clouds), there is quite a bit of vegetation throughout the country. Most of the country has at least some parts of green on the map while there are few areas that have no vegetation at all.

In the image above, notice that there are high pressure and low pressure isobars not too far from each other. The high pressure runs right along where the capital city of San Jose is located in the northern part of Costa Rica while the low pressure is located over the Northwestern part of South America. In the image below, you can see many more pressure systems and also fronts because of the larger scale. Unfortunately, there wasn't a larger scale map that included Costa Rica so I picked the map that came the closest to Central America. In the large scale map there are many more low pressure systems that run throughout the united states in comparison to the high pressure systems. There are also cold fronts located throughout these pressure systems that also run along the United States. All of these pressure systems in fronts shown in the below image are located to the North of Costa Rica.
