Because if you leave your country for tropical Colombia and think you will arrive in warm summer weather, you will be quite shocked.

After sunset it cools down considerably and if it&#8217;s cloudy all day, you don&#8217;t have to expect temperatures above 15 to 17 degrees either.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When the sun does shine, it can feel quite warm in the sun (20 degrees or a little more), but as soon as you walk into the shade for a while you notice a big difference immediately. Especially if it&#8217;s also a little windy and you walk through the sun in a t-shirt into the shade, it&#8217;s suddenly chilling.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">The weather can turn quickly<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On top of that, the weather can change quickly and <strong>you can experience at least three seasons within an hour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Not to mention the size of the city: <strong>if you leave in the sun, you may find yourself walking into rain half an hour later and 10 kilometers north<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The two rainy seasons run from February\/March through May, and from October to early December. However, every year it remains to be seen how much and when it will actually rain, and you can also expect rain outside those periods. Only between mid-December and late January does it virtually not rain and the weather is usually beautiful.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Is Bogot\u00e1 rainy?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Bogot\u00e1 gets quite a bit of rain, but it usually rains only briefly (except <a href=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/travel-in-rainy-season-colombia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>at the summit in the rainy season<\/strong><\/a>) and many days are heart-breakingly beautiful. The times I walk under an umbrella are certainly not very many. Bit: I do actually always take one with me&#8230; for just in case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And more about rain: <strong>every day there is a 100% chance of rain<\/strong>. Except between mid-December and the end of January, that is. <strong>It does not mean that it rains all day long, but it does mean that you can always expect rain.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Also, don&#8217;t think that a few drops won&#8217;t get you wet: here in Bogot\u00e1, those showers are often so intense that your socks are flooded after only 10 seconds, the streets flood and you suddenly find yourself in a completely different world. Believe me: the times I have experienced this can no longer be counted on one hand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In any case: <strong>on most days, the weather is just fine in Bogot\u00e1<\/strong>. Cold, but dry. An umbrella does always go with me for safety. I walk at least 7,000 steps almost every day and without rain.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-31236 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Weer-in-Bogot\u00e1.jpg' data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Weer-in-Bogot\u00e1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Hotel tips airport Bogot\u00e1 Colombia\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Weer-in-Bogot\u00e1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Weer-in-Bogot\u00e1-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Weer-in-Bogot\u00e1-420x315.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Weer-in-Bogot\u00e1-744x558.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Weer-in-Bogot\u00e1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Weer-in-Bogot\u00e1-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<hr>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">What clothes to bring to Bogot\u00e1?<\/h2>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>It&#8217;s wise to remember before you leave that you won&#8217;t be getting on the plane in your sandals and shorts.<\/strong> Many flights don&#8217;t arrive until late afternoon or early evening, and then you don&#8217;t want to step out into the cold right away.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">What clothes to bring for in Bogot\u00e1?<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Closed shoes<\/strong>, preferably ones you can walk well and longer with (also taking into account the bad streets here);<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Long pants<\/strong> (no Bogotan walks in shorts, even when it&#8217;s 20 degrees or more, except on Sundays when playing sports or outings in the park on nice days);<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A t-shirt with a cardigan for when it gets colder<\/strong> (layers are the most convenient, to be prepared for everything);<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A jacket.<\/strong> Many Bogotans look like it&#8217;s freezing cold, but really: a summer coat is enough for when it gets chillier, I myself always carry a scarf as well;<\/li>\n<li>Your <strong>sunglasses<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>An <strong>umbrella<\/strong>!

I always have a coat on (also for sun protection) and always long sleeves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On weekends or when I go for a walk I often have a t-shirt on with a jacket over it. My shoes vary from warm booties to simple sneakers. In the rainy season, I often bring an extra pair of socks for when I get wet.
