Cartagena de Indias also averages around 90% humidity, with a rainy season typically in April-May and October-November.
The climate tends to be hot and windy. The months of November to February tend to be more windy months, giving an extra cooling to the otherwise high tropical temperatures.
However, Cartagena de Indias, is never touched by the hurricanes that decimate other Caribbean capitals like Havana, Santo Domingo, Kingston or San Juan. Although the city is in the Caribbean but in the mainland and also quite southerly, isolating it from the wind currents that feed the hurricanes. The last hurricane to arrive the city was the strange arrival Hurricane Santa in 1988, and was debilitated after passing Phillipines
