Climate Located entirely within the tropics, Venezuela's climate is tropical, hot and humid. The rainy season extends from (June - October) and the dry season from (November - May). From (May - September) the hottest months, daily highs approach 90º F, while in January, the coldest month, daily highs average in the low 60s. As always, high and low temperatures within a country vary according to elevation; here coastal and lowland areas are hot throughout the year, while the highlands are more moderate. Caracas, situated on the edges of the Avila Mountain range, has an average daily high temperature of 72° F, with very little seasonal variation. |
