Valencia Weather, When to Go and Climate Information

(Valencia, Carabobo, Venezuela)

Valencia enjoys some very nice weather due to its location just inland from the northern coast of Venezuela. Its altitude of 479 metres / 1,572 feet above sea helps temper its tropical latitude, bringing the best of both worlds to this industrial city. In general, the climate is quite warm throughout the year, so you won't need anything more than a sweater for the nights.

The temperature averages 26°C / 79°F in Valencia, peaking at around 32°C / 90°F during the summer months and dropping to a comfortable 18°C / 64°F in winter. Of course, if you go up in the mountains it will get cooler as you gain elevation. The city itself has a slight altitude advantage, which allows it to catch the Alisian winds off the coast that keep the climate fresh in the afternoons.

Seasonal Climate Variations / When to Go

Like most of the cities in Venezuela, Valencia has a rainy season from May to November, while during the rest of the year there is very little precipitation. This is when the mercury reaches its highest point, and, when coupled with the rise in humidity from the rain, it can be a bit uncomfortable at times. On the plus side, this time of year forms the low season in terms of tourism, so you can expect lower hotel rates and fewer crowds.

The best time of the year to visit in terms of overall climate is during the winter, from November through April. Things can get busy over the Christmas and New Year weeks, and prices for everything increase. But the weather is sublime and sunny almost every day. A great time to come is on the shoulders of winter. Months like October, November, March and April all offer plenty of sunshine but few other tourists.
