Cartagena's Climate

Cartagena is a historic port city on the Caribbean coast of northern Colombia, near latitude 10°N, giving it a hot, humid tropical savanna climate with steady temperatures year-round. Daytime highs are usually 30–33°C and nights stay warm around 25–27°C, with high humidity that keeps the air feeling muggy. The dry season from December to April is sunny, and strong trade winds ease the mugginess, while the main wet season from August to November brings afternoon showers and thunderstorms peaking in October. The city lies on the edge of the Atlantic hurricane belt, so direct storms are rare but not impossible.
