Traveller notes on Palomino in March
Notes from nearby Cali (85 km away)
Palomino doesn't have its own notes for March yet — these are about Cali, close enough to share the season.
Forum posters describe Cali's weather forecasts as genuinely unreliable, warning that a clear forecast can still deliver a huge downpour given the city's valley setting - posters recommend watching the wind instead, since Cali's valley location keeps air normally calm, and a noticeable pickup in wind often signals rain within an hour or two. Posters are direct that rain here comes and goes rather than lasting all day, describing it as either raining or not raining rather than a sustained wet spell. Posters discussing Colombia's broader climate note real elevation-driven variation across the country - Cartagena at sea level, Bogotá and Medellín much higher and cooler - with Cali's own lower-elevation setting keeping it consistently warm year-round. Posters generally recommend an umbrella on hand regardless of forecast for a Cali visit.
