| Descripción: | The pastoral visits constitute a work carried out by the bishops of the Catholic Church whose purpose is the inspection of the conditions of a parish, from the material and spiritual point of view. However, for the Costa Rican case, from the erection of the Diocese of San José de Costa Rica (1850) and until the founding of the Ecclesiastical Province of Costa Rica (1921), these texts collected data on the physical conditions of several of the visited places, including reports related to the behavior of the atmosphere, particularly under the episcopates of Bernardo Augusto Thiel (1880-1901) and Juan Gaspar Stork (1904-1920). These reports are mainly based on descriptions of rainfall, dry conditions and low temperatures of the visited sites, as well as their social effects, mainly collected in populations lacking a meteorological or rainfall station, so this information allowed to have an idea of the conditions of the weather and climate of each one of the regions that make up the Costa Rican territory. |
