In the tropical zone—below 800 m (2,600 ft)—temperatures are hot, with yearly averages ranging between 26 and 28 °C (79 and 82 °F). [2] The temperate zone ranges between 800 and 2,000 m (2,600 and 6,600 ft) with averages from 12 to 25 °C (54 to 77 °F); many of Venezuela's cities, including the capital, lie in this region. [2]
The Climate of Venezuela is characterized for being tropical and megathermal as a result of its geographical location near the Equator, but because of the topography and the dominant wind direction, several climatic types occur which can be the same as found in temperate latitudes, and even polar regions. Latitude exerts little influence on the ...

Map of the climatic regions of the Andes. The tropical Andes are shown in green. The Dry Andes are shown in yellow and the Wet Andes in dark blue. The Tropical Andes are located in South America following the path of the Andes. They run, mainly, through five countries, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
Climate zones. The coolest areas are the páramos (dark blue and purple). The Köppen climate classification is "Cfb": warm temperate, fully humid, warm summer. [4] From 800 to 2,500 metres (2,600 to 8,200 ft) in elevation the average annual temperatures are 24–12 °C (75–54 °F). Temperatures are lower above this elevation.
The climate is tropical, although it varies according to the zones; thus, the low areas present high temperatures, which reach 27 °C (81 °F) on average, and abundant rainfall. Depending on the altitude, which is varied, there is a diversity of climates, from torrid to very mild, to the cool climate of the tepui and mountain peaks.
