You get a lot of variety of weather. So you have the farther south where it's um kind of more temperate and you have you have rain and you can get chilly at night down to like I think the coldest I saw was 13 degrees celsius but my favorite was the coast because you get up to 45 degrees celsius like 110 degrees and it's 95 percent humidity and you're walking on the street and you're just about passing out as you're walking and then it rains if you're in one of my areas um say the day then the streets flood and you have this hot water running through the streets. I had to wear flip-flops for a while because of an infection I got and so I was just walking along in the hot water in my bare feet and I loved it.

The weather in Colombia is pretty crazy. One day it'll rain and you'll lose power, but in a few hours it'll be so hot.

So, Colombia is pretty close to the equator, so there aren't any seasons there, so the weather depends on what city you're in. In Bogota, the elevation is a little bit higher, and so it's pretty normal there. I'd say it's about usually in the 70s or 60s. At night, it gets down to the 50s, and so it's pretty nice. It does rain a little bit more there, but it never gets super, super hot. The other two areas I was in, though, Bucaramanga got pretty hot, I would say 80s and 90s, and then Cucuta was about 90s, sometimes got up into the 100s, and then got down into the 80s or 70s at night. There's one area called Barranca that is like in the 100s always, but it's, yeah, it does get pretty hot there, so you just gotta be prepared for that.

In an area in Ibague, I was up to my knees wading through sewage because of such a massive rainstorm. In Leticia, it rains pretty much every day. And in Bogota, I almost got struck by lightning because it rained so much. So, bring an umbrella and a rainproof jacket and you should be good. But it doesn't ever get very cold.

If you're staying in the capital like Bogota, the weather is pretty mild. It's pretty much kind of the same weather all the time. It rains a lot in Bogota and sometimes it can be a little cold but it doesn't ever snow there. There's like never any snow but if you go to like other parts like Bucaramanga or like Cartagena, it is extremely hot there all the time. So if you ever go there, be prepared to sweat a lot.
