Climate chart - Valledupar
The climate of Valledupar (also called Ciudad de los Santos Reyes del Valle de Upar) is tropical, with a rainy period from April to November and a dry period from December to February.
The city is located in the north of Colombia, at 10 degrees north latitude and at 180 meters (590 feet) above sea level, in a valley between two important mountain ranges. In fact, to the north-west we find the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, which hosts the Pico Cristóbal Colón, the highest peak in Colombia with its 5,700 meters (18,700), while to the east we find a mountain range on the border with Venezuela, the Sierra de Perijá, the northernmost branch of the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes, whose highest peaks exceed 3,600 meters (11,800 feet) in height.
Due to the low altitude and the position closed between the mountains, Valledupar is a very hot city, probably the hottest in Colombia. However, from January to Marchm the humidity is lower and the wind is often moderate. From September to November, temperatures drop slightly, but they are the months in which humidity is the highest of the year.
Valledupar lies at the edge of the area over which hurricanes, the tropical cyclones of the Atlantic Ocean, can pass, however, hurricanes at this latitude are rare, moreover, the city is far from the coast and protected by mountains. The hurricane season runs from June to November, but they are most likely from August to October.
During El Niño years, the city becomes hotter and drier.
