Editing Bluefields (section)

== Climate ==
According to [[Köppen climate classification]], Bluefields features a trade-wind [[tropical rainforest climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Af''). There is a drier period from February to April, but the [[trade winds]] ensure that unlike the Pacific coast of Nicaragua, rain still falls frequently during this period. For the rest of the year when tropical low pressure dominates rainfall is extremely heavy, helped by the coast being shaped in such a manner as to intercept winds from the south as prevail during the northern summer.
