What you gain in February
- ↑29°C is the warmest month of the year: the highest temperatures in the mini-dry season — ideal for Parque Arví, the Santa Fe de Antioquia day trip, and outdoor activities in the valley
- ↑Good availability at the best restaurants in El Poblado and Laureles: before spring break and festival season inflate demand, reservations at the city's top tables (Carmen, Huerta, Hija Mía) are made with ease
- ↑Relatively low humidity at 62%: physically one of the more comfortable months despite higher temperatures
What you sacrifice
- ↓65mm of rain: slightly wetter than January — the dry season is relative, not absolute, and afternoon showers remain possible most weeks
- ↓No significant events: February is culturally one of the quieter months before the Semana Santa and mid-year festivals begin
- ↓Pre-rainy-season allergies: the dry months can bring dusty conditions and airborne pollens from the valley flora
