Urban Climate Index for Santa Marta, Colombia, in August 2026: heat across 272 zones

Camellon leads on the bay edge, at about 37.3°C. Miramar and Edificio Bahia Linda follow. The best five:

The inland ground closes the index. Luz Del Mundo is last of 272, at about 51.8°C. Cootransmag and Polideportivo del Sur sit in the worst five.

All 272 zones take air, humidity and rain from the same IDEAM meteorological station, marked on the map as Universidad Tecnológica: 31.1°C air, 72.8% humidity, 35.6 mm of rain. The index uses both magnitudes, surface and air. This August the air does not change from one zone to the next, so the order follows the surface.

The composite of the urban continuum sits at 47.3°C, from 31.3°C to 55.1°C. One satellite image reached 29.8°C on 13 August and 55.6°C on 29 August. The monthly mean is that composite.

Pescaito sits 133rd of 272, at about 47.6°C on average, in the middle pack. Centro sits 29th, at about 45.5°C. Anyone looking for cooler ground this August looks toward Camellon, Miramar and the bay edge.

This August is a composite of satellite data, the usable scenes after the cloud filter. Surface temperature and station air are two magnitudes; the index uses both. How it is calculated is on the index methodology.

In August the satellite sees a cooler bay edge and hotter inland ground. The mean of the urban continuum sits at 47.3°C.

Camellon leads and Luz Del Mundo closes.
