Medellin, Colombia

Medellin sits under a tropical sky in Colombia, and the 2015–2024 weather record gives its sunshine a clear shape: the January peak reaches an 89/100 sun score, with daytime highs around 26°C — a solid base for a city break.

August is the heat peak, averaging 27°C highs; November is the cool end, when nights dip to around 16°C. Rain is most likely in October, when about 88% of days see meaningful rainfall, and least likely in January (50%). Beach-warm afternoons (24°C and up) hold through January–December.

The seasonal arc is clear in the data: summer averages 26°C against winter's 26°C, while rain-day odds move from 63% in winter and 84% in spring to 63% in summer and 83% through autumn. Winter wins on the numbers and spring loses them; everything in between is a trade-off between warmth and crowds. For warmth without the densest crowds, the shoulder play is December: still 26°C highs, with a sun score of 86.
