The climate of Léon (Nicaragua)
Léon, or Santiago de los Caballeros de Léon, as the town is actually officially called lies in the north-west of Nicaragua on the river Chiquito. Léon is a rather big town in the department of Léon, of which it is also the capital. León lies close to the volcano Momotombo. The old town was completely destroyed in the past due to an eruption of Momotombo. The old ruins of Leon have been on the Unesco world heritage list since the last century. The town has many architectural styles, which grants the town a character of its own.
Léon has a tropical climate which is slightly influenced by its situation near the Pacific. The climate in Léon has two periods: a wet period and a bone-dry period. In the first months of the year there is really not a single drop of rain, but the months after that amply compensate for that. Due to its sheltered situation between some volcanoes the air humidity can rise considerably on the warm, very wet days and the word ‘damp’ gets a completely new meaning.

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:
