While most people from Colombia and
living in Bogota complain about the
Bogota
temperature being cold in
Bogota, I
find it very pleasant, in my
experience there are many nice sunny
days in the upper 60's and lower
70's and to many this is cold
because of the hot humid temperature
in other pasts of Colombia. Unless
it is the rainy reason, the rain
usually falls lightly in the morning
or evening clearing the air of
pollution and giving the air a nice
fresh smell.
Bogotá is the third highest capital
in south America after La Paz and
Quito, the city is located on a
mountain rimmed plateau known as the
Sabana de Bogotá high in the
Cordillera Oriental of the Andes
Mountains, at an elevation of about
2,650 m. (about 8,660 ft.). If you
come by air from the lowlands you
may feel a bit dizzy, so it is
advisable not be too active for the
first 24-48 hours, you may even
become tired easily, this is normal
until you adjust to the higher
altitude.
The
Bogota
climate is temperate, but
considerable variations in
temperature can occur during the
day, with warm sunny mornings and
cold nights. The average temperature
is around 14.4° C (58° F) all year
round dropping to about 9° C at
night and rising to around 18° C and
higher when sunny. In the rainy
season, there is less difference
between day and night temperatures.
The main dry season lasts from
December to March, and the wettest
months are April and October.
