Heat, humidity and the UV index in Venezuela

Meteo Info Online team Reading time: 1 min

Being in the tropics, Venezuela is hot all year. On the coast and, above all, in Maracaibo — one of the hottest cities — the humidity makes the feels-like temperature even higher.

Heat and feels-like

  • Drink water throughout the day, even if you are not thirsty.
  • Avoid the sun and exertion between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
  • Keep an eye on children and older adults.

UV index

Because of its proximity to the equator, the UV index is high almost all year. Use sunscreen, a hat and UV-filter sunglasses, and check the day's UV index before going out.
