The climate of Isla de San Andres (Colombia)
Isla de San Andres is the main island of the San Andres archipelago
which is located off the coast of Columbia in the Caribbean Sea.
There was a long fight between Nicaragua and Columbia about the
claim on the island group. Even the United States of America claimed
ownership at one time. Since 1928 the archipelago is officially
Columbian. The island is home to many unique animal and plant
species. Because of this it is a Unesco Biosphere Reserve. This also
applies to the surrounding waters and coral. The island offers many
beautiful beaches and bays. Geysers can even be found on the island.
San Andres has a tropical climate. Temperatures are high all year
round. However, most heat is tempered by the ever blowing trade
winds. San Andres has two rainy periods: from September until
December and from May until June. During the winter (November and
December) there is a risk of tropical storms.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
