The climatic regions of Venezuela they are diverse, since this South American country is located in the tropics; its territory is influenced by the pressures of Ecuador and the trade winds.
This South American country is officially known as the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. It is a central-federal republic that has 23 states and 72 federal agencies.
Your limits are; to the north: maritime territories of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Trinidad and Tobago and Martinique. Its limits to the south are the countries of Brazil and Colombia, to the east is the Atlantic Ocean and to the west, again Colombia.
Venezuela is considered to be one of the most diverse in terms of geography since it is possible to divide its territory into nine natural regions. In fact, it has a warm and rainy climate most of the year.
However, some climatic differences can be appreciated due to the winds, the orography and the sea. The climate varies greatly due to the altitude, becoming visible in temperature and thus achieving very diverse values.
Its average temperature in the year ranges from 24 ° C to 27 ° C in most of the national territory. Meanwhile, in the west the annual average 35 ° C can be seen in the dry zone. In other areas such as the Venezuelan Andes, a temperature that ranges from 0 ° C to 10 ° C can occur.
It is precisely the variety of climates of this country, which makes possible the diversity in the exotic landscapes and exuberant beauty..
The Republic of Venezuela is located in a tropical temperate zone. This country is characterized by having different climates, since it is a territory where there are various variables that influence such as intensity, the direction of the winds and the topography.
In this way, in Venezuela it is possible to find an alpine climate but also a humid tropical climate. Thus, we find that in Venezuela the rainy season is in the period between May and October, and the dry seasons go from December to April..
It could be said that the climate of the Republic of Venezuela is divided into four temperate regions according to altitude: tropical, subtropical, temperate and cold..
The climate of Venezuela is in this region below 800 meters. Here, the temperature ranges between 26 ° and 28 ° C. They include, among others, the cities of Maracaibo and Ciudad Bolívar.
In this region we find the capital of the country, Caracas.
It is the one that is between 800 and 200 meters. Its average temperature is between 12 and 25 ° C. Almost all the cities of the Republic of Venezuela enjoy this climate.
This occurs at altitudes that are between 2,000 and 3,000 meters, having an average temperature between 9 ° and 11 ° C. Its climate varies between 28 ° C to 8 ° C
Likewise, most of the rainfall occurs between June and October (considered the rainy season)..
They are characterized by a temperature above 20 ° C. Here it is not possible to have the cold season and vegetation. Here the type of equatorial climate stands out.
Climates that present a large amount of rainfall in the year, which occurs especially in the summer months and suddenly.
In this type of climate, the tropical monsoon stands out, which tends to present a dry winter and a summer with abundant rains; also the tropical monsoon.
The latter usually presents extremely hot summers with rainy precipitations in addition to a cold winter, and finally monsoons in the temperate zone that present little rains and a dry winter season..
What most occurs in this type of climate is a very important drought. Precipitation is conspicuous by its absence and there is little relative humidity. There are also thermal oscillations and no or very little vegetation. Here we find hot deserts and cold deserts.
The most important thing about this climate is the existence of two seasons. Here we find a temperate rainy climate with the presence of dry summer.
Here we find the polars and the subpolars. The highlight is that there are winters that are dry and harsh and that have an average temperature below zero.
Present in the Amazon and in the South of Guyana. Here it is common to find intensity in rainfall and high temperatures during the course of the year, in addition there is no defined dry season.
This climate is present in most of the Venezuelan territory. In addition, high temperatures occur throughout the year and there is a dry season when the period of little sun occurs, that is, from December to March. San Cristóbal and Caracas are some of the cities that have this climate.
This climate is present in the highest levels of the Cordillera del Norte. Also, in the middle levels of the Andes. It usually happens that one month a year the temperature is below 18 ° C.
