Climate Change Chart of Bucaramanga, Colombia

Overview of climate changes

Temperature changes

Averaged across calendar months, the monthly mean temperature difference was +0.95 °C compared with the earlier reference period; this is an unweighted comparison of monthly means, not a day-weighted annual average or a measure of daytime highs. The largest monthly increase was in February, with a difference of +1.31 °C. This identifies the strongest increase among the reported monthly comparisons, rather than implying that every month changed by the same amount.

Changes in rainfall

Averaged across calendar months, mean daily rainfall showed a difference of -11.55 mm/day in the more recent period. This is an unweighted average of monthly mean daily amounts, not a comparison of monthly rainfall totals or a statement that rainfall declined by the same amount in every month. The largest monthly decrease in mean daily rainfall occurred in June, with a difference of -19.39 mm/day. It marks the most pronounced reported monthly decrease, while leaving the changes in other individual months unspecified.

Changes in sunshine duration

Mean daily sunshine duration increased on average across calendar months, with a difference of +1.43 hours/day compared with the earlier reference period. This unweighted comparison summarizes monthly means; it does not show that daily sunshine increased by that amount on every day or in every month. The largest monthly increase was in June, where mean daily sunshine duration had a difference of +2.62 hours/day. This points to the strongest reported monthly increase, not a uniform change across the year.
