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.
