The Weather in Colombia

In general terms, rain is recurrent throughout the whole year in Colombia since it´s a tropical country. We do have a time of the year where it rains more than the rest, but it is not rare that it rains hard every now and then when it´s not the rain season. I was born and raised in Bogotá, the capital, which is one of the coldest cities in the country, and the overall temperature during the whole year here is about 20°C during the daytime and about 10°C in the nightime. We don´t have seasons here, but what we call "summer" occurs in December and January, and our "winter" is somewhere around May or June, and then just rain, and rain, and rain, and a sunny day, and rain, and rain all the rest of the year. It´s actually difficult to tell when the weather will change, especially nowadays with all the climate changes and global warming and all that sad stuff that our poor Mother Earth is getting from us in return of her measureless generosity. We have three mountain chains here which are a part of the Andean chain, and we have two coasts (Atlantic and Pacific), therefore, we have all the thermal levels and ideal conditions for harvesting and fishing during the whole year. Unfortunately, our governors kindly steal from all those resources and make us a poor country even though we have all that!

Because of the mountain chains also as well, ground travelling is very difficult and dangerous since we have to go around the mountains instead of just driving in a straight line like in other countries. The good thing about that is that you get to see astonishing landscapes when driving from one part of the country to another. You can see woods, lakes, farms, villages, and at some routes like the one that goes from Bogotá to Villavicencio you have to cross tunnels through the mountains.

It´s really cool when you go from Bogotá to a warmer spot, because when you´re in the open road you can tell you´re in a different climate because of the smell of vegetation. It looks the same through the window but it smells different, and then you just know you´re getting closer. There are really smoking hot cities not too far away from Bogotá. After a 2 hour drive you can certainly be sweating your guts out and screaming for an ice-cold beer in cities like Villeta or Fusagasugá, which have nice hotels and fortunately POOLS! If you go a little up to the north, on the other hand, you´ll get to Boyacá, which is on a higher altitude (colder) and full of stories about our heritage. Thanks for your corrections.

The Weather in Colombia

In general terms, rain is recurrent throughout the whole year in Colombia, since it´s(I would put "it is" to make it more formal, at least that is how I write)  a tropical contry. We do have a time of the year where it rains more than the rest, but it is not rare that it rains hard every now and then when it´s not the rainy time season . I was born and raised in Bogotá, the capital, which is one of the coldest cities in the country, and the overall temperature during the whole year here is about 20°C at in the daytime, and about 10°C in the nightime. We don´t have seasons here, but what we call "summer" occurs in December and January, and our "winter" is somewhere around May or June, and then just rain, and rain, and rain, and a sunny day, and rain, and rain all the rest of the year; it´s actually difficult to tell when the weather will change, especially nowadays now ("nowadays" is too informal for most writing)with all the climate changes and global warming and all that sad stuff that our poor Mother Earth is getting from us in return for of her measureless immeasurable generosity. We have three mountain chains here which are a part of the Andean chain, and we have two coasts (atlantic and pacific), therefore we have all the thermal levels, and ideal conditions for harvesting and fishing during the whole year. Unfortunately our governors kindly steal from all those these resources and make us a poor country even though we have all that!

Because of the mountain chains also, ground traveling by road is very difficult and dangerous since we have to go around the mountains instead of just driving in a straight line like in other countries. The good thing about this (to avoid the repetition of "that") that is that you get to see astonishing landscapes when driving from one part of the country to another. You can see woods, lakes, farms, villages, and at some routes like the one that goes from Bogotá to Villavicencio you have to cross tunnels through the mountains.

After a 2 hour drive you can certainly be sweating your guts out (sweating your guts out is very informal, which may be your intent) and screaming for an ice-cold beer in cities like Villeta or Fusagasugá, which have nice hotels and fortunately POOLS! If you go a little up to the north, in the other hand, you´ll get to Boyacá, which is at on a higher altitude (colder) and full of stories about our heritage. Thanks for your corrections.

VERY GOOD JOB! The only issue I have with the essay is the mix of formal and informal writing. In general, I think it is a good idea to keep with one or the other...
