Climate chart - Barinas
The climate of Barinas is tropical, with a rainy season from April to November and a dry season from December to March. Temperatures are high all year round, but especially from February to April, before the rains, when they can reach 38/39 °C (100/102 °F), although the humidity is lower than in the rainy period.
The city is located in the northwest of Venezuela, at 8 degrees north latitude, at an altitude of 200 meters (650 feet), and at the foot of the Andes. About 85 km (52 mi) away is the Pico Bolìvar, and beyond the mountain lies the city of Mérida.
The city is too far to the south to be directly affected by hurricanes, however, every so often a hurricane that passes in the southernmost part of the normal trajectory, brushing the north coast of Venezuela, can bring particularly heavy rains here as well, as happened with tropical storm Bret in early August 1993. The hurricane season runs from June to November, although they are more likely from August to October.
