The weather in Colombia is very varied, the climate is modified due to its geographical complexity such as the coasts of the Caribbean Sea to the North, the current of the Pacific Ocean, as well as the mountain ranges that cross it through the center from north to south.
According to IDEAM there are at least four types of climate in the country: tropical, dry, temperate and cold high mountain.
In the case of tropical climates, four subtypes are identified: rainforest or equatorial, rainforest or monsoon, savannah with dry winter and savanna with dry summer.
The rainforest or equatorial tropical rainforest covers areas such as the center and north of the Amazon, the entire Pacific Region, parts of Antioquia, western Santander, Boyacá and Cundinamarca, the Catatumbo area and the Amazon foothills. While the tropical rain forest or monsoon reaches the plain foothills and the southern extremes of the Caribbean region.
The savannah with dry winter includes most of the Caribbean and Orinoquia region, as well as the low areas in Santander and Antioquia. As for the savannah with dry summer. adds the inter-Andean valleys in Tolima, Huila, Valle, Cauca and Nariño.
For the dry climate, in Colombia the very hot arid or desert and the very hot semi-arid or steppe are perceived. The first is perceived in the upper part of Guajira and the second in the middle and lower zone of the same department plus sectors of the Caribbean coast.
The temperate climate is felt in the middle and lower areas of the three mountain ranges of the Colombian country; while the high mountain cold, as its name suggests, in the upper levels of the three mountain ranges.
