Guide to the Medellin Weather
For the most part the Medellin weather is fantastic. The city is even known as "The city of Eternal Spring" (La Ciudad de eterna primavera) as the mountain city basks in year round sunshine and temperatures in the mid-20Cs.
Even during the wetter periods of the year (usually from March to June and Spetember to November) the mornings tend to be rain free and can in fact be very sunny.
During the wet seasons dark rain clouds tend to build up to the south of the city and sweep north through the Aburra Valley with often torrential rainfall the result.
The weather in Medellin can typically be quite localised. It is not uncommon to see dark clouds building in the distance only for them to completely bypass large areas of the city. Often the downtown area of Medellin experience a deluge whereas the western neighbourhoods receive not a drop.
The fine Medellin climate means that short-sleeved shirts can be worn year-round. It's worth noting, however, that this warm spring-like weather relates to the city of Medellin and that as you climb to higher altitudes outside the city the temperature can drop considerably, especially at night.
