What to expectPetare through the year

Petare changes little through the year. Average daily highs stay between 26 and 28 °C, so no month stands out as a season in the way it would further from the equator.

Counted across a normal year, 328 days a year reach 25 °C, 23 of them reach 30 °C. The warmest reading in the 1991–2020 record is 34 °C, in March.

Rain is strongly seasonal. October averages 180 mm against 47 mm in February — 3.9 times as much. Planning around the dry months matters more here than planning around temperature.

The sea off Petare is warmest in September at 29 °C and coldest in February at 25 °C. Sea temperature lags the air by a month or two, which is why late summer swims warmer than early summer at the same air temperature.
