Best time to visit Cali

Colombia · 20-year averages

August is the best month in Cali, scoring 67 out of 100, with October the weakest at 47. The 20-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 6 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

September is the warmest month at 31.3 °C and November the coolest at 29.3 °C — a 2 °C spread across the year. 206 days a year top 30 °C, more than a third of the calendar, so heat is the baseline here rather than a season.

There is a real wet season here. April, May, October and November carry the rain — up to 21 wet days in a month — while July to September drop as low as 9. That 12-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Cali, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight barely moves: about 12.3 hours whatever the month, which removes one variable from the decision entirely.

The three strongest months are August, July, June. The one to think twice about is October. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
