The climate of Tabaquite
Tabaquite,

The region is subjected to consistently high temperatures throughout the year, and abundant rainfall characterized mostly by the presence of monsoons. The average high temperatures in this locality range from approximately 28.2°C (82.8°F) to 30.5°C (86.9°F), reflecting a narrow temperature range that speaks to the consistency of the thermal profile. On the flip side, the average low temperatures oscillate between around 24.7°C (76.5°F) to 26.5°C (79.7°F) on a month-to-month basis.
Tabaquite's climate extends favorable conditions to facilitate high relative humidity levels across the year, with the values hovering between a minimum of 74% and a maximum of 78%. The lack of a significant change in humidity throughout the year is indicative of the Am climate type.
