Cúcuta in December

December in Cúcuta: average highs of 33°C, lows of 22°C and 11 hours of sunshine a day. A starting point for planning around the historical weather.

December in Cúcuta, Colombia, brings average daily highs of 33°C and overnight lows of 22°C in the 2016–2025 historical record. Allow room to shorten long outdoor plans when the day's forecast is hotter than you want. A schedule with easy breaks and less travelling between stops will give you more choices.

In the record, at least 1 mm of rain or snow falls on 13 of 31 days on average, a daily chance of 43%. Give wet-weather alternatives a proper place in the itinerary. Arrange outdoor plans so you can move them between days, and pack a rain layer rather than relying on a completely dry run of weather.

The calculated day length, sunrise to sunset, averages about 12 hours. Sunshine averages 11 hours a day. Use the daylight window to plan the length of excursions, and check local sunrise and sunset times for the dates of your stay. Sunshine is a separate measure, and those hours need not arrive in one uninterrupted stretch.

For time in town, cluster a few stops together and leave the rest of the day open. Check transport and opening hours for any plans that run late.

The following month, January, has a similar average daily high of 33°C. Its historical rain-day chance is 35%, compared with 43% this month. If your dates are flexible, compare those trade-offs with the kind of days you want. Neither set of averages predicts the conditions of one particular holiday.
