Don't worry it'll get hot eventually then  you'll be asking why is it so hot here? no ones happy either way

This is a common feature for persons born and broughtup in cold climate. People in Equatorial regions tolerate heat more for the same reason. There may be slight variation amongst individuals in tolerance to climatic issues. Nothing to worry.

Two friends of mine lived in Costa Rica for a year and a half and they had to move back. It literally drove them to drinking. They couldn't stand it. It was dangerous and difficult to get anywhere. They were afraid to use the doctors down there and kept coming back to Canada every few months for check ups.\n\nCosta Rica is a nice place to visit but right now it is not a nice place to live.

Culture of Costa Rica\nPopulation and Ancestry\nMany of the Spanish colonists who settled in Costa Rica during the 1500's and 1600's married native Indians. Their descendants are called mestizos. Today, whites and mestizos of unmixed ancestry consist of more than 97 per cent of Costa Rica's population. In addition to mestizos and whites, Costa Rica has two small minority groups - about 70,000 blacks and about 10,000 Indians. The majority of the blacks live along the Caribbean coast. During the late 1800's ancestors of Costa Rica's black population came to the country from Jamaica to build railroads and to work on the banana plantations. The Indians of Costa Rica live, for the most part, in isolated communities in the highlands and along the Caribbean and Pacific shores. They keep their tribes' traditional ways of life.\n\nCosta Ricans take great pride in their country's heritage of democratic government and social equality. The also value their own personal dignity and strong family ties. Nearly all Costa Ricans speak Spanish. However, many blacks speak a Jamaican dialect of English. About 90 per cent of Costa Ricans belong to the Roman Catholic Church.\n\nHousing\nAbout half of all Costa Ricans live on farms or in rural towns. Many farmers live in adobe cottages with white stucco walls and red or pink-tiled roofs. Other farmers live in brightly painted wooden houses. Most city people live in row houses. Such houses look much alike and are attached to one another in a row. Many Costa Ricans decorate their homes with plants and flowers. Some of the more affluent families in Costa Rica own large ranch-style or Spanish-style homes surrounded by gardens.\n\nFood\nThe diet of most Costa Ricans includes beans, coffee, corn, eggs and rice. In addition, many tropical fruits such as bananas, oranges, guavas, mangoes and pineapples are common. Most families also serve beef, fish, poultry, and many kinds of soups. The often prepare tamales (ground pork and corn meal steamed in corn husks) and tortillas (thin corn-meal pancakes).\n\nEducation\nAbout 93 per cent of Costa Rica's people can read and write, a higher percentage than in any other Central American country. By Costa Rican law, all children are required to complete elementary school. Students graduating from elementary school may attend secondary school, which, upon graduation, enables them to enter a university. The country has several universities, including the National University in Heredia and the University of Costa Rica near San José.\n\nRecreation\nCosta Ricans enjoy spending their leisure time outdoors. Many of them play football (soccer), the national sport, in neighborhood fields. Basketball, tennis, and swimming are also popular. Many Costa Ricans take part in colorful festivals on religious holidays. Bullfights, fireworks, and masked parades attract thousands of Costa Ricans and foreign tourists to San José during the annual Christmas festivals.\n\nTourists from all over the world, enjoy visiting Costa Rica's wealth of national parks. Costa Rica's national park system includes sandy beaches where sea turtles lay their eggs, tropical rain forests home to diverse species of monkeys and colorful birds, as well as several active volcanoes.\n\n\n\nYou will also see Costa Rican families appreciating the daily miracle of the sunset (puesta del sol). Young men surf the sunset session, often when the waves are best, while their younger counterparts play in the sand on the beach.

Maybe the ground temperature is hotter. Its temperature doesn't count on outside factor. The sun is just 1 factor.

The surface temperature on Venus is 800 degrees Fahrenheit.  As a point of comparison, paper catches fire at 451 degrees Fahrenheit.  The atmospheric pressure is immense.  The atmosphere is sulfur and methane and other poisons.  It's a hard sun-baked kiln oven landscape.   Not that you could ever see the sun, the atmosphere is too thick.  The night side is practically as hot as the day side because the superheated air covers the entire planet.   Sorry, I wish Venus was the lush tropical garden that they thought it was 100 years ago.  But a few unmanned probes have landed there and sent back pictures before they melted into a little puddle.  Looks just like the inside of an oven.

Yes, the earth is running hot because many anthropogenic activities  are taking place and are at the peak level mainly Global warming and Greenhouse effect.\nbec of this phenomena the temperature is rising high and due to this the polar ice inthe polar region is melting soon and due to this activity there will be rise in thewater level there by reduction in the land surface.\nIF THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY. We can try to minimize it but can't fully suceed ! So unless and untill we try the temperature will go on.
