How hot is it in Colombia during September?
The temperature reaches around 30℃ during the daytime in September, falling away to 23℃ at night. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Colombia during September?
On average, there will be 15 rainy days during the month, amounting to 319.5mm in total. That's a lot of rain. For comparison, the wettest months in the UK typically sees between 80mm and 100mm, depending on where you are. There's a good chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Colombia during September?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in September. The high humidity and warm temperature will make the breeze feel warm, so any cooling effect will be limted.
