Bucaramanga features a tropical monsoon climate,
though it’s a noticeably cooler version of the climate. The city falls just
short of a tropical rainforest climate as its driest month, January, averages
just less than 60 mm (2 in) of rainfall. Although its altitude is not
considered very high, Bucaramanga's climate is not hot nor cold with 22 degrees
Celsius being the average temperature. Compared to cities at the same average
altitude (such as Cali), Bucaramanga has much cooler daytime temperatures due
to the cold wind coming down the Eastern peaks; its night temperatures are not
cold
