Climate change in Antioquia
While climate change has been a constant in the history of the Earth, we are
experiencing has been attributed to human activity. And there is evidence that is
affecting Antioquia, particularly since the second half of the twentieth century. It
has been shown to increase the mean annual air temperature at a rate of 0.1 to 0.2
degrees Celsius per decade. Rainfall has varied: in some areas increases and
other decreases in a range that varies between -4 and +6 per cent per decade. For
several decades the snowy experience a significant loss of ice mass, and it
snowed several Colombians became extinct during the last century. In coastal sea
level has risen at a rate of two millimeters per year. And in health human dengue
found environments for their proliferation where none existed before.
According to studies on climate weather stations around the country, there is an
increasing trend in rainfall in places like Santa Marta, Medellin, Pretoria, Puerto
Carreño and Neiva, while in the southwest have decreased, for example in areas
of the Cordillera Oriental (Bogotá, Bucaramanga and Cucuta) and on the island of
San Andres. Increased rainfall is high intensity (showers and thunderstorms). As
for the temperature, there is a tendency to increase the maximum and minimum,
which means that both nights as the days are warmer. In the highlands
cundiboyacense tend to diminish or icy cold periods in the evening and early
morning. The last frost of the highlands are more effects of the phenomenon of "El
Niño".
