Hello to all. I've been here in Costa Rica for two weeks and overall I love it.
I'm looking for a place to live in the rainy season that still has a lot of strong sunshine and few mosquitoes.
My sweetheart will be giving birth to our first baby (a boy) in August and I need a sunny place with few mosquitoes for my health (and mom and the baby).
I've poured over sunshine maps:

and rainfall maps.

and am still having a hard time figuring out where to live.
Currently we are close to Turrialba at about 3,500 ft. elevation. The temperatures are indeed wonderful here, but there's more cloud cover than I would like.
The climates here can change quite dramatically in not very much distance, so I don't remotely think I have found the optimal location for me.
Any thoughts on where to find plenty of sun in the rainy season without feeding too many mosquitoes?
