Traveller notes on Palomino in August
Notes from nearby Cali (85 km away)
Palomino doesn't have its own notes for August yet — these are about Cali, close enough to share the season.
Colombia-forum threads on the July-August stretch call it 'summer' around Cali specifically - sunny, windy, and hot, one of the drier windows on the calendar even though forecasts keep predicting rain that mostly shows up as a few minutes of tropical shower rather than a washout. Posters are explicit that Colombia's weather varies hugely by region within the same month - the Caribbean coast running hot and sticky, Medellin and Salento staying cooler - so Cali's own read shouldn't be assumed to travel. One reassurance repeated on the forum: mosquitos aren't a real concern around Cali in this window. The record complicates the low-rain reputation a little: 29.6C days feeling like 33C, 18.5C nights, 140mm of rain across a notably high 16.3 days, 80 percent humidity and 8.5 hours of sun - sunny and windy in the gaps between real, frequent showers.
