La Union
Climate Report 

 




I love El Salvador’s climate because it is a beautiful tropical country. I love how it is never cold and when it is hot it is a dry heat so it doesn't feel sticky.The winter is full of green grass and blooming trees and flowers everywhere with showers in the evening time. I also love the summer time climate even though it is dry and not as green as winter, but the hot heat makes it perfect for vacations. 

El Salvador has a tropical climate which means that it has a very pronounced dry and wet season. El Salvador is a small country, but it has a very diverse tropical climate. In the Pacific low lands it is more hot, and in the more central mountainous areas it is moderate. The rainy season is called Invierno (winter) that starts in May and ends in October. Almost all of the yearly rainfall occurs in this season. The dry season Verano (summer) is the hot and windy season. So La Union is the most dry and windiest during the summer time. The summer time is very hot in La Union ; it is one of the hottest departments during the summer period.During the winter time it rains a lot but not as much as the more central areas.
