rainfall

There are two distinct rainy seasons in the region, April-May, and October-November. In these periods, the high peaks and plains that surround Bogotá, including the Páramo de Sumapaz absorb and channel the water from heavy fog and cloud cover and rainfall, storing and balancing it in the soil, which is maintained throughout the drier months (Correa et al., 2020)
