Though I don't live there, now, my friend told me last night on the phone that it has been pouring for some time, more than usual.

It rains a little at least every day. Some days are worst than others. I am not a big fan of the rain, so it has been getting to me a bit. Can be kind of depressing.

Colombia is experiencing abnormal rain fall-generally country-wide. Just roll with the punches and carry the trusty paraguas

've been riding my Suzuki 650 V-Strom almost everyday south of Medellin in Amaga, Venecia and Fredonia. It's mostly a country area but beautiful touring. I try to arrive back in Medellin before 1:00 PM to avoid the afternoon showers. They however last only a short time. I agree this year has been different than last year. (more showers)

A lot of people are floode out of there homes and some houses have slid down the hill side of Pia Lapopa.

Doesn't usually rain very long during the day. Although sometimes it rains all night, but it keeps the temperature down. It's been pretty cool lately. Umbrellas are only 5k pesos on the street.

I have been living in medellin since 2002 and this year is by far the worst weather I have seen here.

As Gator says Colombia is recieved a lot more rainfall than normal this year.

As to present weather its been raining every night for a week now, I expect that it will more or less continue until early December, seeing as November seems to be the wettest month here.

Eywed, that's why they call it The Swamp.

Spontaneous heavy down pours are an
irritation. Make certain you have several plastic bags to protect things that can be damaged by water. It is a real irritation
drying out water logged paper. Keep an eye
on the sky. When it begins to darken even if not cloudy be prepared for a soaker.
Keep an eye out for shelter always during the rainy season. It hits with no warning.
