Bogota is at altitude and has typical mountain weather - unpredictable. However, I've always found the climate to be comfortable. Most locals wear or carry a sweater, especially at night, and rain can come up fast. Snow is very rare. |

i am from bogota , lived there for 30 years so let me explain it better
A) it never snows it has never happen and it never will
B) it has a flat temperature is always bewteen 48 and 70 all year long no colder than that no warmer than that
C) it only rains in 2 months out of the year april and novenber (during this months usually it will rain at least once a week ) i lived in london for a year and the weather is not like bogota at all
D)hail storms maybe five in a year bogota is like spring weather all year round
E) august you will have lots of wind
now if you drive up the mountains for about an 2 hours you will get to colder temeratures close to 35-45 if you drive down the mountains in about 45 minutes you will reach 70-80 make ad hour and a half and you can be in the 90 temperatures is based on alttitude not seasons
if you have any more questions please ask |

Cartagena, San Andres, Santa Marta, Barranquilla are very tropical. |

No, not at all. It's high in the mountains, so it's cold and it rains a lot. |
