Editing Geography of Venezuela (section)

==Climate==
Although the country lies wholly within the tropics, its climate varies from tropical humid to alpine, depending on the elevation, topography, and the direction and intensity of prevailing winds.<ref name=":0"/> Seasonal variations are marked less by temperature than by rainfall.<ref name=":0"/> Most of the country has a distinct rainy season; the rainy period (May through November) is commonly referred to as winter and the remainder of the year as summer.<ref name=":0"/>

Average yearly rainfall amounts in the lowlands and plains range from an [[desert climate|arid]] {{convert|180|mm|in|0|sp=us|abbr=on}} in the [[Paraguaná Peninsula]] – the driest part of South America outside the [[Arid Diagonal]]{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}} – to around {{convert|1000|mm|in|0|sp=us|abbr=on}} in the Orinoco Delta<ref name=":0"/> and {{convert|2200|mm|in|0|sp=us|abbr=on}} or more in [[Los Llanos]] and [[Amazonas (Venezuelan state)|Amazonas]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}} Rainfall in mountainous areas varies considerably; sheltered valleys receive little rain, but slopes exposed to the northeast trade winds experience heavy rainfall.<ref name=":0"/> Caracas averages {{convert|800|mm|in|0|sp=us|abbr=on}} of precipitation annually, with very little rain falling from December to April.<ref name=":0"/><ref>{{Cite book|last=Kent|first=Robert B.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yGqVCwAAQBAJ&dq=caracas+annual+precipitation+900&pg=PA146|title=Latin America: Regions and People|date=2016|publisher=Guilford Publications|isbn=978-1-4625-2550-8|edition=2nd|pages=135}}</ref>

The country falls into four temperature zones based primarily on elevation. In the tropical zone—below {{convert|800|m|ft|abbr=on}}—temperatures are hot, with yearly averages ranging between {{convert|26|and|28|C|F|0}}.<ref name=":0"/> The temperate zone ranges between {{convert|800|and|2000|m|ft|-2|sp=us|abbr=on}} with averages from {{convert|12|to|25|C|F}}; many of Venezuela's cities, including the capital, lie in this region.<ref name=":0"/> Colder conditions with temperatures from {{convert|9|to|11|C|F|0}} are found in the cool zone between {{convert|2000|and|3000|m|ft|-2|sp=us|abbr=on}}.<ref name=":0"/> Pastureland and permanent snowfield with yearly averages below {{convert|8|C}} cover land above {{convert|3000|m|ft|-2|sp=us|abbr=on}} in the high mountain areas known as the [[Andean Moorland|páramos]].<ref name=":0"/>
