Venezuela - weather in July

July is the central month of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, which in Venezuela, a country located just north of the Equator, is the rainy season.
The temperatures are high, however, they are a little lower than in the spring months. On the other hand, the humidity increases the sensation of heat. The hottest area is the arid north-west area (see Maracaibo, Coro and the Paraguaná peninsula), where the daily average is around 30 °C (86 °F).
The rains are frequent and abundant both in the area occupied by the forest, in the macro-region called Venezuelan Guayana, and in the area occupied by the savannah, the llanos.
On the northern coast (see Barcelona, Maiquetía, Guiria), the rains are less abundant, but still frequent. Only in the driest areas (see Coro, the Paraguaná peninsula and the Caribbean islands), the rains are still rare.
However, on average July is the wettest month of the year in Venezuela, roughly on par with June.
In this month, we are in the hurricane season in the Caribbean Sea, which can affect the extreme north of Venezuela, though more rarely than in the central-northern Caribbean, and the phenomenon is more likely between August and October.

The sea is warm enough for swimming.
