On everyone's mind is the question; what is Medellin weather like?Medellin Weather Average temperatures: Day: 82 F/ 27C Temperatures are generally ideal all year round but do vary. It's a little cooler in the hills around the city and can get fairly warm in the congested downtown areas. There are 2 rainy seasons. The first is from March to May and the second from September to November. The rain can be heavy and torrential at times but generally, it does not rain all day long. The rest of the year tends to be very sunny with the odd refreshing shower. In Medellin, the day is warm and comfortable while lately with global warming and all..., it can get a little hot from time to time. We're talking 30-33' Celcius (88.7 Fahrenheit) Especially around midday and into the early afternoon it can be nice to relax by the pool if you have access to one. Because of the altitude it tends to cool down to comfortable sleeping temperatures by the time you go to bed. Clothing Comfortable light cotton clothing is ideal. Short sleeved shirts and pants will cover just about any situation. Dress up if you want for dinner. Smart casual does the job. Be cool, be hip, be stylish but you will probably stand out a touch more here. Shorts and sandals should suffice most of the time, but personally I tend up to wear pants. At night you may want a thin outer jacket/ sweater or similar. Jewelry. My suggestion is to go easy on the diamonds, especially if you're in one of the poorer parts of town. The minimum salary here is about US$200/ month so you get the idea. Why invite problems? Day trips and clothing The exception. If you're driving into the hills (Rionegro, Guatape/ El Penol, El Retiro, San Pedro etc.) you can easily climb to 2500m (8200 feet) and even at this latitude it gets cooler. Midday temperatures are fresh and comfortable but the night can fall to only a few degrees above freezing.
