Venezuela - weather in February

February is the last month of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. In Venezuela, a country located just north of the Equator, it is hot, dry and sunny almost everywhere.
In February, temperatures already rise compared to January, as the sun becomes stronger, a phenomenon that is felt in tropical areas. However, in cities located on hills or mountains (see Caracas, Mérida), temperatures are cooler. In Caracas, winter nights can be cool, and fog can form.
In the central-southern inland areas, temperatures are particularly high. For example, in Puerto Ayacucho, in the north of the state of Amazonas, the daily average is 30 °C (86 °F), and this is the hottest month of the year. In the central-northern inland areas, temperatures can reach 37/38 °C (99/100 °F).
We are almost everywhere in the dry season, and therefore the rains are rare, however, in the south-east, in the macro-region called Venezuelan Guayana, occupied by the forest, there are areas where the climate is equatorial and it rains even in this month, and in particular, in the extreme east, in the Orinoco delta area, where we are in the relatively dry season (which runs from February to April), and in the extreme south, in the Amazon rainforest (see San Carlos de Río Negro), where the rains are frequent and abundant even in this period, although less than in the rest of the year.

The sea is warm enough for swimming, even though we are in the period of the year when it is relatively cooler.
