Climate chart - El Vigia
The climate of El Vigía is tropical, hot all year round. The rains are not very abundant, however, there is a dry season from January to March, and a rainy season from April to December, within which the two periods May-June and October-November stand out as wetter, while from June in September the rains decrease a bit.
The city is located in the northwest of Venezuela, at 8 degrees north latitude, in the foothills of the Andes, west of Mérida and south of Lake Maracaibo.
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.
