Venezuela - weather in September

September is the first month of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, however in Venezuela, a country located just north of the Equator, it is still a hot and rainy month almost everywhere. Actually, the sun passes at its zenith at noon from north to south throughout the month.
The temperatures are high especially in the far north, the least rainy area. The hottest area is the arid north-west area (see Maracaibo, Coro and the Paraguaná peninsula), where the daily average is 30/31 °C (86/88 °F).
The rains are frequent in a large part of the territory, and are often even abundant, however, in the center-south they decrease compared to the previous months, 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), 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.
In the Caribbean Sea we are in the season of hurricanes, which can affect the extreme north of Venezuela, even though more rarely than in the central-northern Caribbean. We are in the period in which they are most likely, which goes from August to October.

The sea is warm enough for swimming.
