Maracaibo's climate is characterized by a relatively constant temperature throughout the year, with average highs often reaching above 28°C. The dry season prevails for most of the year, with temperatures gradually increasing as the months progress, peaking in July and August, before starting to decline towards the end of the year. During this time, day-night temperature differences are minimal, resulting in a warm and humid climate. In contrast, the wettest period is not distinctly marked by cooler temperatures, suggesting that rainfall rather than temperature fluctuations drives seasonal changes. The highest temperatures are reached during the dry season, with July typically being the hottest month.
