Cartagena month by month

Plan your visit to Cartagena by month. Compare weather, crowds, events, and prices across all twelve months with historical climate data.

Cartagena's year splits on rainfall, not heat. Highs hold between 29°C in October and 33°C in March. That 4-degree spread barely registers on the skin, so temperature is almost irrelevant to planning. Rain tells the real story. January records 2 rain days, February 4, March 7. Those three months are the dry season. April jumps to 17 rain days and the wet stretch runs unbroken through November. October reaches the peak at 26 rain days. December, at 10 rain days and 31°C, sits in the gap between wet and dry.

All 12 month guides are published below. Temperature shifts so little across the year that the real differences between months come down to rain. Start with January or February if dry weather matters most to your trip. July, at 20 rain days and 31°C, records fewer rain days than the months on either side. For the transition periods, check April and December. April's count jumps from March's 7 to 17 rain days, and December drops from November's 22 to 10.

October and June need the most attention at 26 and 25 rain days. Both also sit at the cooler end of the range, 29°C and 30°C.

October records 26 rain days at a high of 29°C, the wettest and coolest month in Cartagena's measured year.
