Cartagena data: tables to download, cite and reuse

Name: Cartagena, Colombia: felt temperature by month and hour
Creator: cartagena.info
Published: 2026-11-12

Seven Cartagena data tables, ready to download and cite: felt temperature by month and hour, walkable hours, sunrise and sunset, rain normals, cruise ship days, official visitor prices, and straight-line distances from the Clock Tower in Cartagena, Colombia. Each comes as CSV and as JSON. The guide’s own compilations, sunrise and sunset, ship days and official prices, are free to reuse under CC BY 4.0: credit “cartagena.info” with a link. Felt temperature and walkable hours are statistics computed by cartagena.info from NOAA observations: you may quote them with a link to this page. The rain normals keep IDEAM’s CC BY-SA 4.0, the distances OpenStreetMap’s ODbL.

1The sheet

Seven tables, each a download

Each panel below is one table: a small drawing of its rows, the two files, the line to cite it with, and the pages of this guide that use it. Open “The table” to read every row on the page. The drawings show the same rows as the files, so what you see is what you download.

Use the CSV in a spreadsheet or a script; use the JSON when you also want the licence, the sources and the method in the same file. All files sit in one folder, /data/, and datapackage.json lists them with their columns for tools that read the Frictionless Data format.

Stable addressesFile names do not change when a table is refreshed; the content does, and the change log says when. Link to a table with its anchor, for example #t-heat.

FormatCSV in UTF-8 with a header row, commas between fields and a dot for decimals. Times are local, 24-hour, UTC−5. Empty means no value.

2Reuse

What you may do with each table

Draft. These reuse terms are a draft and may change before the guide launches.

What you may do depends on the table: the terms in its row apply. Five tables carry an open licence, and each of those asks for credit; two also ask that what you build from them stays under the same licence. The two heat tables carry no licence: quote them with a link.

The guide’s own tables

Sunrise and sunset, cruise ship days and official prices are compiled or computed by cartagena.info and offered under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence. Credit “cartagena.info” with a link to this page, link to the licence, and say if you changed the data. The prices table is a compilation: each price is set by the body named in its row, and the documents themselves belong to their issuers.

Felt temperature and walkable hours

These are statistics computed by cartagena.info; you may quote them with a link to this page. No Creative Commons or other licence is granted over them. The underlying observations are NOAA’s, from the National Centers for Environmental Information’s Integrated Surface Database; station data from Colombia fall under WMO Resolution 40 and are not redistributed here. NCEI’s readme says the non-U.S. data in its database are subject to WMO Resolution 40 restrictions, and cannot be redistributed to other users or customers. Credit “cartagena.info, computed from NOAA NCEI observations”, with the link.

Data that keeps its source’s licence

Rain normals. The figures are IDEAM’s, Colombia’s national weather service. Its table on datos.gov.co is published under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0), so the one-station extract here carries the same licence. Credit IDEAM first and cartagena.info for the extract, and share anything you build from it under CC BY-SA 4.0.

Distances. The coordinates come from OpenStreetMap, whose data is under the Open Database License; the distances are computed from them, which makes the table a derived database. OpenStreetMap’s terms say that if you alter or build upon the data, you may distribute the result only under the same licence. So: credit “© OpenStreetMap contributors” with a link to openstreetmap.org/copyright, say the data is under the ODbL, add cartagena.info for the distances, and release any changed or extended version of the table under the ODbL 1.0. A chart or map you draw from it needs the credit line, not the share-alike.

Nothing on this page replaces the licence texts linked above; where this summary and a licence differ, the licence applies. The rest of the site, its text, drawings and photographs, is not covered by these licences.

3Citing

How to cite a table

Every panel carries its own citation line. The pattern is the same for all seven: publisher, year, title of the table, and the source behind it, followed by the link to the table’s anchor on this page. Link the page rather than the file, so a reader finds the method and the licence next to the numbers.

In an article “Cartagena’s afternoons feel hottest from April to September, according to felt temperature figures from cartagena.info computed from NOAA airport readings (cartagena.info/cartagena-data/#t-heat).”

In a reference list cartagena.info (2026). Felt temperature by month and hour, Cartagena, Colombia, 2016 to 2024. Computed from NOAA NCEI ISD station 800220. cartagena.info/cartagena-data/#t-heat, accessed on the date you read it.

For the rain figures, name IDEAM as the source and cartagena.info as where the extract came from.

When you quote one value, quote it with its unit and its kind: a felt temperature in the shade is not an air temperature, a straight line is not a walking distance, and a ship day counts ships in port, not passengers ashore.

DatesCite the date in the change log for the version you used. A refreshed table keeps its address and gets a new line there.

4Method

Where each number comes from, and when it changes

Each table is built from one source, by the steps below, and refreshed on its own schedule: the heat tables yearly, the ship days when the port operator posts a new schedule, the prices every January. The guide’s pages are built from the same data files.

1. Felt temperature by month and hour, Rafael Núñez airport, 2016 to 2024

Hourly reports of station 800220 (Rafael Núñez airport) from NOAA NCEI’s Integrated Surface Database, 2016 to 2024. Times converted to local time, UTC−5 (Colombia has no daylight saving). One report per local hour (the first), quality flags 0, 1, 4 or 5 only, air temperature between 15 and 45 °C, dew point not above air temperature.

Relative humidity from air temperature and dew point (Magnus formula). Felt temperature is Steadman’s apparent temperature in the shade, as the Australian Bureau of Meteorology publishes it: AT = T + 0.33 e − 4.0, where T is air temperature in °C and e the water vapour pressure in hPa. With the breeze: AT = T + 0.33 e − 0.70 ws − 4.0, with ws the wind speed in m/s measured in the same report.

Each cell is the median of all readings for that month and hour across the nine years; p10 and p90 are the 10th and 90th percentile of the still-air value.

Back-test. The table was built from 2016 to 2024 and tested against 2025, a year it had not seen: in 192 of the 192 month-hour cells with enough readings (January to August), the 2025 median of felt temperature in still air came within 1.5 °C of the table. The mean difference was −0.06 °C, the median absolute difference 0.44 °C; the breeze series passed in 190 of 192 cells. The pass mark, set before the test, was 90 percent of cells.

Source NOAA NCEI, Integrated Surface Database (global-hourly), station 800220, Rafael Núñez airport; Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Thermal comfort observations (apparent temperature).

Refresh Yearly, after the new year’s observations are complete.

2. Walkable hours by month, three kinds of place, under the guide’s heat rule

From table 1. Between two hourly medians the felt temperature is read on a straight line; a window opens or closes where that line crosses the rule’s threshold. Starts are rounded up and ends rounded down to 5 minutes, so a window never contains a minute that fails the rule; windows shorter than 5 minutes are dropped.

Streets inside the walls and in Getsemaní are sheltered, so the breeze never counts there. Places with no shade use the breeze line and are never offered between 10:00 and 15:30, because the felt figures are shade values.

Walkable daylight minutes count only the minutes between sunrise and sunset (table 3).

Source NOAA NCEI, Integrated Surface Database (global-hourly), station 800220, Rafael Núñez airport.

Refresh Yearly, with table 1.

3. Sunrise and sunset on the 15th of each month, local time

NOAA’s general solar position equations (fractional year, equation of time, solar declination) for 10.4236 N, 75.5253 W, with the standard zenith of 90.833° for sunrise and sunset, local time UTC−5, for the 15th of each month.

Source NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory, General Solar Position Calculations.

Refresh Fixed; recomputed only if the method changes.

4. Rain by month, official climate normals 1991 to 2020, Rafael Núñez airport

The two rows for station 14015080 (precipitation, and number of days with rain of 1 mm or more), period 1991-2020, copied from IDEAM’s table on datos.gov.co without change. Each value is a register row of the guide (ids in the last column).

Source IDEAM, Normales Climatológicas de Colombia 1991-2020 (datos.gov.co, dataset nsz2-kzcq), station 14015080, Aeropuerto Rafael Núñez.

Refresh Yearly, when IDEAM updates the dataset; the normals themselves change only with the next 30-year period.

5. Cruise ship days by month, 2026-27 season

Every call in the operator’s 2026-27 schedule (updated 3 November 2026) was read into the guide’s data file: ship, dock, dates, arrival and departure, passengers at maximum occupancy. Calls are counted in the month of arrival.

A ship day is a date with at least one ship in port. A call over two dates counts on each of them; a stay longer than two nights counts on its arrival date only: Freewinds, 1 September 2026 to 27 September 2026. Two-ship days have exactly two ships, three-ship days three or more.

Passengers are the operator’s maximum-occupancy figures added over every ship in port that day; fewer people come ashore. The schedule is subject to change.

Season totals by the same rule: 167 calls, 125 ship days, 39 with two ships and 7 with three or more. The full schedule, ship by ship, is on the port operator’s page; this table publishes only the monthly counts.

Source Sociedad Portuaria Regional de Cartagena, Programación de Cruceros 2026-27 (updated 3 November 2026).

Refresh When the port operator posts a new schedule.

6. Official visitor prices in Cartagena and the document that sets each

Each amount was read in the document named in its row and entered in the guide’s fact register with the document’s date and the date it was read. Only rows with an amount are in this table; free entries and rules without an amount (tips, VAT on hotels) are on the prices page.

Source Decreto 0051 de 2026, as printed in the airport table: Airport taxi fare table, 2026; OINAC, the airport operator, under resolution 01169 of 2021: Airport charges page, 2026; Congress: Ley 1101 de 2006 art. 4, as amended by Ley 2010 de 2019: Ley 1101 de 2006, Senate text; and the 8 further documents linked in the table.

Refresh Every January, when most prices change.

7. Straight-line distances from the Clock Tower to places in and around Cartagena

Each place was matched to one OpenStreetMap object (the id is in the table) and its coordinates taken from it; Wikidata ids where the object has one. The distance is the haversine great-circle distance from the Clock Tower’s coordinates on a sphere of the mean Earth radius (6,371.0088 km), rounded to 10 m. Where no OpenStreetMap object carries the exact name, the nearest matching object was used and the row says approx. Walking or road distances are longer.

Source OpenStreetMap contributors, coordinates of each place (ODbL).

Refresh When a place is added to or moved in the guide’s place list.

5Left out

What is not on the sheet, and where it lives

Sea state. The guide’s “calmer” and “rougher” months come from a wave model run by a third party, Open-Meteo Marine, not from measurements. It is not published here as a dataset; take it from the source. How the guide reads it for boat days: the Rosario boat day and best time to visit.
The hourly observations. The airport readings behind tables 1 and 2 stay with NOAA NCEI: global-hourly, station 80022099999. Only the guide’s monthly and hourly statistics are here.
The ship-by-ship schedule. Names, docks and hours of each call belong to the port operator, Sociedad Portuaria Regional de Cartagena, which updated its schedule on 3 November 2026 and says it may change. Read it on the operator’s page; what a ship day means for your walk is on the cruise port and walled city pages.
Air temperature and humidity normals. IDEAM’s same table on datos.gov.co has them for the airport station; the guide prints them on Cartagena weather.
Tour, hotel and meal prices. Sellers set them and change them by the week, so no table of them exists here. The official prices around them, and a day budget, are on Cartagena prices.
Walking times. Table 7 is a straight line. Times on foot, at the guide’s one walking speed, are on where to stay and Getsemaní; every place is drawn on the map of Cartagena.

For planning, not reuseThe same data drives the guide’s tools: the heat by the hour on weather, the year on best time, ship days on the itinerary, the sunset line on sunset.
