According to the report, Colombia’s weather is tropical and warm or sometimes spring-like temperature, and that varies based on region. However, the weather is consistent all through the year. According to Nancy A. Kiernan, one of the correspondents, January feels and looks like October.

Mexico

The weather in Mexico varies a lot based on the region. For instance, the weather in the North is cooler during winter while the temperature remains the same all through the year in the South. However, when it comes to extreme weather, there is nothing to get you anxious as that does not exist.

According to a contributor, the whole country is mild and warm, and there’s just a little snow on the areas with very high peaks. In any instance when the evenings get chilly, covering yourself with a sweater would be enough for comfort.
