Best time to visit Bogotá

January is the best month in Bogotá, scoring 81 out of 100, with November the weakest at 58. The 23-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. The good window runs January to February — 2 months within ten points of the best.

February is the warmest month at 20.1 °C and November the coolest at 17.9 °C — a 2.2 °C spread across the year. It never reaches 30 °C in an average year, which takes heat off the list of reasons to avoid any particular month.

There is a real wet season here. April, May, June, October and November carry the rain — up to 25 wet days in a month — while January to February drop as low as 10. That 15-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Bogotá, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight barely moves: about 12.4 hours whatever the month, which removes one variable from the decision entirely.

The three strongest months are January, February, September. The one to think twice about is November. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
