Climate in Valencia (Venezuela)

The climate of Valencia is tropical, slightly tempered by the altitude, with a dry season from January to March and a rainy season from May to November, while December and April are transitional months.
During the day, temperatures are high all year round, but especially from February to April, before the rains, even though the humidity is lower than in the rainy period.
The city is the capital of the state of Carabobo and is located in the north of Venezuela, at an altitude of 460 meters (1,500 feet). To the east lies Lake Valencia, around which are the cities of San Joaquín, Mariara and Maracay. To the north, beyond the Cordillera de la Costa, where the Henri Pittier and San Esteban national parks are located, about 25 km (15 mi) away from Valencia lies the Caribbean Sea.
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.
