Weather forecasts, based on observation and mathematical modelshelp forecast the state of the atmosphere at a given time and location from records such as temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation or wind.
Weather forecasts are activities that have been carried out for hundreds of years, even before the Christian era, basically relying on the observation of cloud patterns, the wind, the time of year, although initially these they were inaccurate.
It was not until the emergence of new technologies (such as computers) that mathematical models began to be put into operation that made it possible to achieve more precise predictions, becoming a fundamental factor for the transportation (by land, sea or air), agriculture, tourism, disaster prevention, public health and even military operationsbeyond deciding whether or not to carry an umbrella or what outfits to put on.

According to IDEAM there are at least four types of weather in the country: tropical, dry, temperate and cold high mountain.
In the case of tropical climatesfour subtypes are identified: rainy jungle or equatorial, rainy forest or monsoonal, savannah with dry winter and savannah with dry summer.
He tropical rain forest or equatorial It covers areas such as the center and north of the Amazon, the entire Pacific Region, parts of Antioquia, western Santander, Boyacá and Cundinamarca, the Catatumbo area and the Amazon foothills. Meanwhile he tropical rainy forest or monsoonal it reaches the foothills of the plains and the extreme south of the Caribbean region.
The savannah with dry winter includes most of the Caribbean and Orinoquia region, as well as the lower sectors in Santander and Antioquia. Refering to savannah with dry summer. It adds the inter-Andean valleys in Tolima, Huila, Valle, Cauca and Nariño.
For him Dry weatherin Colombia the very hot arid or desert and very hot semi-arid or steppe. The first is perceived in the upper part of Guajira and the second in the middle and lower zone of the same department plus sectors of the Caribbean coast.
He mild weather it is felt in the middle and lower areas of the three mountain ranges of the Colombian country; Meanwhile he high mountain coldas its name says, in the upper levels of the three mountain ranges.
