Cartagena weather: how hot it feels, hour by hour

Cartagena weather in Colombia is hot at every hour of every month. The airport thermometer averages a high of 31 °C to 32 °C and a low of 24 °C to 26 °C, but with the humidity the shade feels like 30 to 33 °C (86 to 91 °F) at 6:00 and 37 to 39 °C (99 to 102 °F) at 13:00, all year. What changes is rain and wind. From December to March the streets stay cool enough to walk until about 9:00 to 9:45 and again from about 16:45 to 17:15; from May to September only until about 7:15 to 7:45, and again late in the evening.

1The heat table

Every hour of every month, as it feels in the shade

Each row is a month, each column an hour of the day, and the color is how hot the shade feels at that hour on a typical day. The outlines mark the hours cool enough to be outside on foot. Pick a month and an hour, or tap a cell, to read it in one sentence. To choose the month itself, use the best time to visit guide.

Month

Hour

November, 13:00. In still shade it feels like 37 °C (99 °F), and on eight days in ten between 34 and 39 °C. In the breeze on the walls: 34 °C (93 °F). Rain falls on about 9 days in November (178 mm in the month). One of the hottest hours, even in the breeze: good for a museum, a long lunch, the hotel pool or the sea, and short walks in the shade: the Makani beach club day on Tierra Bomba crosses in 15 to 20 minutes. More ideas in things to do.

Solid outline: cool enough to walk in the sheltered streets (35 °C (95 °F) or less in still air). Dotted line under a row: cool enough on the walls, the waterfront and the beach (33 °C (91 °F) or less with the breeze). A figure with one decimal is just above its line. The small marks above each row are sunrise and sunset. Each column is the median for that hour, airport readings 2016 to 2024.

2Reading it

What “feels like” means on this page

The table does not show the thermometer. It shows how the air feels in the shade, worked out from two readings the airport weather station takes every hour: air temperature and humidity. This “feels like” is the Steadman apparent temperature in the shade, not the US heat index. Damp air keeps sweat from drying, so a February 13:00 of 31 °C at 63% humidity feels like 37 °C. That is the still-air value, the one for a narrow street the wind does not reach.

The second value takes off the cooling of the wind measured at the station in the same hour. Use it for the top of the walls, the waterfront, a beach or a boat. The guide does not count the breeze for a walk in a street.

Two things the table cannot show. Sun on your skin adds to every figure, most at midday, so the shady side of the street matters as much as the hour. And these are typical values, the middle of nine years of readings: the sentence above gives the range that eight days in ten fall into.

The stationRafael Núñez airport, on the coast north of the walled city. Hourly readings from the NOAA Integrated Surface Database, 2016 to 2024. The method is in the notes at the end of the page.

The two linesStreets: 35 °C (95 °F) felt in still air. Walls and waterfront: 33 °C (91 °F) with the breeze. Both are the guide’s own lines, for an unhurried walk: under them is comfortable, over the street line is hot, and 10:00 to 15:30 is the hottest part of the day.

3Hot all year

Is it always hot in Cartagena?

Yes. Cartagena sits on the Caribbean close to the equator, and the official climate normals show how little the year moves: the average daily high at the airport is 31.1 °C (88 °F) in January and 32.3 °C (90 °F) in June, and the average night low stays between 24 °C and 26 °C. There is no cool season, only a windier, drier one from December to April and a stiller, wetter one from May to November.

The nights barely help. At 3:00 the shade still feels like 30 °C (86 °F) in February and 34 °C (93 °F) in September. Humidity is highest before sunrise, about 90% at 6:00 in every month, and lowest in the early afternoon, about 63% to 73%.

The hottest month

By the thermometer, June, with the highest average daily high, 32.3 °C (90 °F). By feel, May, July and August, when 13:00 reaches 39 °C (102 °F) in still shade; the stillest air of the year follows in September. The least hot hours of the year are dawn in January and February, at 30 °C (86 °F). These figures are for the coast; elsewhere in Colombia the altitude decides the temperature more than the month does.

4Month by month

Twelve months, at the hours that matter

The same table read one month at a time: the cool windows, midday, the wind and the rain. For which month suits your trip, see the best time to visit.

January
Dry and windy. At 6:00 the shade feels like 30 °C (86 °F), at 13:00 like 37 °C (99 °F). The trade wind, about 24 km/h at 15:00, brings the top of the walls down to 33 °C at midday. Streets are walkable until about 9:45 and again from about 16:45. Rain on fewer than 1 day (under 1 mm). The sea is typically rougher; the sun sets at 17:58.
February
With March, the breeziest month: 26 km/h at 15:00 at the airport. That wind is the difference between 37 °C in a sheltered street at 13:00 and 32 °C up on the walls. Street windows close at about 9:45 and reopen at about 16:45. Rain on fewer than 1 day. The sea is typically rougher, the roughest of the year for the island boats.
March
Still dry (fewer than 1 day, 3 mm) and still windy. Mornings start at 30 °C and reach 34 °C by 9:00, so the cool street window ends a little earlier, at about 9:15, and returns at about 16:45. On the walls the breeze carries the rest of the day from about 15:30. Sunset at 18:13; the sea is typically rougher.
April
The turn of the season. The wind eases and the humidity climbs, so 13:00 feels like 38 °C (100 °F) in the streets and 34 °C on the walls. Street walking ends at about 8:15 and starts again at about 17:45. The first showers come: rain on about 2 days (19 mm). The sea is typically moderate. Sunrise 5:52, sunset 18:13.
May
The rain returns (about 7 days, 117 mm) and the afternoon wind drops to about 17 km/h. The result is the heaviest heat so far: 33 °C at dawn, 39 °C (102 °F) at 13:00 and still 35.1 °C at 21:00. The streets are cool enough only until about 7:15 and again from about 21:15. The sea is typically calmer, good for a boat day.
June
Hot, humid and still. Even in the breeze the walls feel like 36 °C at 13:00, above the line for the open air, so midday is for water and shade. Street windows: until about 7:15, again from about 21:15. Rain on about 9 days (93 mm). The sun sets at 18:24, among the latest of the year. The sea is typically calmer.
July
The wind picks up a little (17 km/h at 15:00) and the evening cools sooner than in June: the streets pass the line again from about 19:30 and the waterfront from about 18:45. Mornings stay cool until about 7:45. At 13:00 it feels like 39 °C (102 °F). Rain on about 9 days (121 mm). The sea is typically moderate.
August
One of the two hottest-feeling months: 39 °C (102 °F) at 13:00, and on eight days in ten between 36 and 41 °C at that hour. Streets are walkable until about 7:30 and from about 21:15. Rain on about 10 days (128 mm). The sea is typically calmer; the sun sets at 18:21.
September
With October, the stillest month: about 13 km/h at 15:00. On the walls that is not enough: after about 6:45 in the morning they stay above the open-air line into the night. In the streets the cool windows end at about 7:15 and return at about 21:15. Rain on about 10 days (133 mm). The sea is typically calmer.
October
The wettest month: rain on about 12 days, 237 mm in all. With the least sunshine of the year, 5.5 hours a day, midday is a little less fierce (37 °C (99 °F) at 13:00, lower than in August), and the streets cool to the line from about 19:00. Mornings stay walkable until about 8:00. The sun sets at 17:45, and the sea is typically calmer.
November
Still wet (about 9 days, 178 mm), but the evenings come back: the streets are cool enough again from about 17:45, the walls from about 17:45. Mornings until about 8:00. At 13:00 it feels like 37 °C (99 °F). The sun sets at 17:37, the earliest of the year. The sea is typically calmer.
December
The dry season comes back: rain on about 3 days (45 mm), and the wind returns, about 18 km/h at 15:00. Dawn feels like 31 °C, the coolest since April. Streets: until about 9:00, again from about 17:15. The walls pass the breeze line from about 16:00. The sea is typically rougher again.

5The day

A day outside, sorted by heat

The heat sets the order of a day here more than the sights do. Four stretches, in the order they come:

From first light
The coolest daylight. Walk the walled city and Getsemaní now, while the streets feel like 30 °C in January and 34 °C in June. Castillo San Felipe is open Monday to Sunday, 7:00 to 18:00; go at opening. Boats to the Rosario Islands leave from 8:00 to 8:30.
Late morning to mid-afternoon
Too hot for a street walk in every month. Go indoors: the Museo del Oro Zenú on Parque Bolívar is free to enter, the Palacio de la Inquisición is open 9:00 to 18:00 Monday to Saturday, and the San Pedro Claver museum is open 9:00 to 16:30 on weekdays. Or go into the sea: the Makani beach club day on Tierra Bomba is a boat ride of 15 to 20 minutes. If the hotel has a pool, this is its hour; the where-to-stay guide shows which areas have them. More in things to do and the beaches.
The last two hours of light
The streets are still warm, but from December to April the breeze makes the walls comfortable well before sunset. That is the hour for the top of the walls, around Baluarte de Santo Domingo and toward Las Bóvedas. On the water, the two-hour sunset cruise leaves Muelle de la Bodeguita at 17:00.
After dark
Dinner and the plazas. From December to March the streets have been back under the line since about 16:45 to 17:15; from May to September it takes until about 19:30 to 21:15. The evening in Getsemaní centers on Plaza de la Trinidad. The days with cruise ships in port, and their hours: the cruise port page. The itinerary puts the days together.

7Questions

Cartagena weather questions

What is the weather like in Cartagena, Colombia, by month?

Hot in every month, with two halves. December to April is dry and windy: rain on fewer than one to about 3 days a month, and cool streets until about 8:15 to 9:45. May to November is still and wetter, with rain on about 7 to 12 days and the cool morning over by about 7:15 to 8:00.

What is the hottest month in Colombia?

For Cartagena, on the Caribbean coast: June by the thermometer, with an average daily high of 32.3 °C (90 °F), and May, July and August by feel, when 13:00 feels like 39 °C (102 °F) in still shade. In the Andes, the altitude matters more than the month, so the hottest month differs from city to city.

Is it always hot in Cartagena?

Yes. The average daily high at the airport never drops below 31 °C and the average low stays above 24 °C. Even at 3:00 the shade feels like 30 °C in February, the mildest month. The relief comes from the wind from December to April, not from cooler air.

How humid is Cartagena?

Very, and most in the early morning. At 6:00 the median humidity at the airport is about 90% in every month. It falls to about 63% to 73% in the early afternoon, which is why 31 °C on the thermometer at 13:00 in February feels like 37 °C.

Does it rain all day in the rainy season?

Usually not. Even in October, the wettest month with 237 mm, rain of 1 mm or more falls on about 12 days, and the rest of the month stays dry. In September it is about 10 days. Keep an indoor plan for the afternoon and check the hourly forecast on the day.

How the felt temperature is computed

Felt temperature is the apparent temperature of Steadman (1994) in shade, as the Australian Bureau of Meteorology publishes it: AT = T + 0.33 e − 4.0, with T the air temperature in °C and e the water vapour pressure in hPa (from the relative humidity). The breeze value subtracts 0.70 times the wind speed in m/s measured at the same hour.
