Rain

These figures describe average daily amounts, not monthly totals, and do not show how often rain falls or how it is distributed from day to day.

Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in February, at 10.30 hours/day, and lowest in May, at 8.23 hours/day. Sunshine hours describe average duration, not daylight length, and monthly means cannot indicate how sunshine is spread across individual days.

Best Travel Time Guide for Bucaramanga, Colombia: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights
If lower average rainfall is your priority, January is the conditional option in these records, with mean daily rainfall of 3.93 mm/day.

For outdoor sightseeing planned around average sunshine duration, February has the highest monthly mean at 10.30 hours/day, while May has the lowest at 8.23 hours/day.
