The numbers
What the weather here is
La Paz sits between 3,200 and 4,100 m depending on which neighbourhood, so the city has a 10 °C temperature gradient built into its own street plan. The altiplano is high, thin and freezes most clear nights; the lowland east is tropical, and takes the surazo — a cold surge that runs up from Patagonia across open ground and can drop Santa Cruz 20 °C in a day.
Where the official forecast is
This site is not a warning service. The official forecast and every watch and warning for Bolivia comes from SENAMHI Bolivia. During a tropical cyclone the advisory that everything else follows is the National Hurricane Center's.
What is on this page is the raw observation — the METAR itself, from the aerodrome named above it — with nothing added and nothing forecast.
