Climate - Maturin (Venezuela)

The climate of Maturín is tropical, with a dry season from February to April and a rainy season from May to January. The wettest period is from June to August. From November to April, the north-east trade winds blow, but since we are quite close to the sea, in the first part, from November to January, the rains are still quite frequent, even though they gradually decrease, while in other areas of Venezuela it is already the dry season.
The city is located in northeastern Venezuela, in Monagas State, at 9 degrees north latitude. To the north is the Cueva Del Guacharo National Park, largely occupied by the forest, where the altitude reaches 1,335 meters (4,380 feet).
The city is on the edge of the trajectory of hurricanes, which can sometimes affect the north coast of Venezuela, although more rarely than in the central and northern part of the Caribbean. However, it cannot be ruled out that a hurricane or tropical storm can bring abundant rains here as well. The hurricane season runs from June to November, although they are more likely from August to October.
