The climate of Calabozo (or Villa de Todos los Santos de Calabozo) is tropical, with a rainy season from May to October (or November depending on the year) and a dry season from December to April. Temperatures are high all year round, but especially in the dry period, 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 north of Venezuela, at almost 9 degrees north latitude, in the state of Guárico, and on the banks of the Embalse del Guárico, an artificial lake created by a dam on the river of the same name.
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.
