The wet season usually lasts from April/May to December, with a period of less rain in July.

The heavy rain that can be found throughout Venezuela has a large impact on the geology. Erosion is a common trend in Venezuela especially due to the extreme wet seasons. [33] The geology of this mountain range especially in Venezuela has barely been studied even by oil companies. [29]

In Brazil, the wet season is correlated with weaker trade winds off the ocean. [26] The pH level of water becomes more balanced due to the charging of local aquifers during the wet season. [35] Water also softens, as the concentration of dissolved materials reduces during the rainy season. [36] Erosion is also increased during rainy periods. [7]
