The climate is significantly
warmer than Tegucigalpa or nearby Campamento because of the Valle de
Juticalpa's elevation. Several thunderstorms occur during the period of May
through September (wet season). October, November and December are cooler and
often cloudy with drizzle. From January through April, the region receives very
little rain (Dry Season). During this season field fires are often observed,
some are intentionally created due to an old unlawful practice for renewing
crops, and others are the result of severe heat or arson; these fires create a
thick blanket
