Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in SA as well as at Bogota, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

About as busy all year round.

The year in Bogota

Bogota has a cool and rainy climate with significant rainfall during March to April and October to November. The driest months generally provide the best conditions for travel.

Quieter, still good
early Jan to late Feb — This period is less rainy compared to other months, providing favorable weather for travel.
early Jul to late Aug — The driest period, with minimal rain and comfortable temperatures, attracts more visitors.
Wet or stormy
early Mar to late Apr — wet season, moderate
early Oct to late Nov — wet season, moderate

Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
