Generally speaking, the coffee production climates in Colombia is wet and tropical. Summer is the primary rainy season, but there isn't really a dry season. The Eastern Caribbean and Pacific coastal lowlands experience a climate of high temperatures and high humidity throughout the whole year, with rainfall averaging up to 40 inches a year. In the mountainous areas of the country, conditions are cooler and more changeable than others due to prevailing winds and high altitudes.
An interesting fact: Colombians actually customarily describe their country in terms of climatic zones.
- The area under 900 meters in elevation is called the hot zone.
- Elevations between 900 and 1,980 meters are called the temperate zone.
- Elevations from 1,980 meters to about 3,500 meters are defined as the cold zone.
