The wet season is normally from May to November, but the geographical distribution of the rainfall varies from annual average of 43 cm / 17" in the west coast to 100 cm / 39" in the Orinoco delta.

Typical tropical climate is featured in the lowland areas, with altitude under 800 m / 2,600 ft. Temperatures range there from 26°C / 79°F to 28°C / 82°F. Moderate climate and temperatures from 12°C / 77°F and 25°C / 77°F are characteristic for the regions of the country which lie between 800 m / 2,600 ft and 2,000 m / 6,560 ft.
