Climate overview
Temperature
Monthly mean temperatures remain warm across the year: the highest monthly mean is July at 28.9 °C, while the lowest is November at 27.1 °C. These are averages for each month, not daytime highs, so they do not show the full range visitors may experience from day to day. The unweighted mean of the monthly temperature averages is 28.0 °C; this summarizes the calendar-month means rather than weighting them by the number of days in each month.
Rain
Rainfall varies by month in the daily averages: the lowest mean is February at 0.11 mm/day, whereas the highest is October at 6.38 mm/day. These are mean daily amounts, not monthly totals, and the lower average does not guarantee that any particular day will be dry. The unweighted mean of the monthly daily-rainfall averages is 2.72 mm/day. It provides a broad summary, but does not indicate how often rain falls or how rainfall is distributed from day to day.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in March at 11.01 hours/day and lowest in October at 9.37 hours/day. These averages can help describe typical sunshine, but sunshine hours are not the same as day length. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of daily sunshine duration is 10.33 hours/day. Monthly averages are useful for broad planning, but they cannot promise the conditions on a specific outing.
Best Travel Time Guide for Maracaibo, Venezuela: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights
If lower average rainfall is your priority, February is the conditional option to consider, with mean daily rainfall of 0.11 mm/day. That average is not a guarantee of dry days, so check the forecast close to travel and allow for changing conditions. For rain preparation, note that the highest monthly mean daily rainfall occurs in October at 6.38 mm/day. A compact rain layer or umbrella may be useful, but this average does not reveal how frequently rain falls or whether it will affect a particular day.
Visitors who prefer cooler monthly averages can use November, the coolest month by mean temperature at 27.1 °C, as a criterion when choosing dates; it does not describe daytime highs or guarantee cooler-feeling weather on every day. For outdoor sightseeing planned around typical sunshine, March has the highest mean daily sunshine duration at 11.01 hours/day, while October has the lowest at 9.37 hours/day. Sunshine duration is not day length, and these averages cannot ensure clear skies for individual plans.
