However, it is also more likely to rain during the Summer season, which makes rivers fuller, and sometimes clouds can blcok the view of the canyons. During the winter, (between June and August) the weather isn’t as humid and the probability of rain is much lower, as well as the average temperature.

Challenges and obstacles are, of course, expected: there are many rivers, rock formations, and winds of up to 62 miles per hour, in addition to a temperature variation between 5 and 35 degrees (Celcius). Safe to say that if you like trekking, you will have plenty of fun at Monte Roraima.

Most travelers prefer to climb Monte Roraima between the months of September and March, but there are others that recommend going in May as well. The weather up there is pretty unstable and there is no way to predict whether it will be sunny or rainy regardless of the season.
What will make the difference is the route that will lead you to the top, so if you happen to go on a hot sunny day, that might affect your trekking because of the heat. Not to mention that the places you can choose to go camping are less crowded during the unpopular seasons, which means you can have the best spaces to accommodate yourself.
