Typical Tourism and Weather in Bolivia



My country is located in the southern hemisphere, I based my maximum and minimum temperatures, and weather patterns based on my countries capital which is Sucre, Bolivia.  Their winter solstice occurs on June 21.  The average max temperature during this month is 66 degrees Fahrenheit.  The minimum average temperature is 47 degrees Fahrenheit.  During this month it is mostly sunny, but you can get some rain.  The average monthly amount of precipitation is .4 inches.  This marks the beginning of a new agriculture year, and is accompanied by festivals.
Bolivia’s summer solstice happens on December 21.  The average maximum temperature for this month is 68 degrees Fahrenheit.  The average minimum temperature is 55 degrees Fahrenheit.  During the summer solstice month, you can expect lots of rain.  There is an average of 3.5 inches of rain, and there are often hazardous floods during this month. 
The spring solstice in Bolivia takes place on March 20th.  The average maximum temperature is 67 degrees Fahrenheit.  The average lowest temperature during this month is 54.  During this month you can expect rain.  The average amount of rain in March is 3.1 inches. 
Lastly, the Autumnal solstice happens on September 22.  The average maximum temperature is 68 degrees Fahrenheit.  The average lowest temperature is 51 degrees Fahrenheit.  During this month you can expect showers of rain.  The average monthly precipitation during this month is .8 inches. 
The best month to visit Bolivia would be in the winter solstice.  One activity that you would be able to do is go to the winter solstice festival.  Another activity that you would be able to take part in is seeing the Uyuni Salt Flats.  There aren’t many potential weather hazards at this time of the year.  The weather is dry and warm, but you still have a chance of little rain showers.  “If you told me there was a better place in South America to visit, I wouldn’t Bolivia.”

  1. Awesome "catchy phrase" haha. Since our countries lie in two different hemispheres our seasons and solstices differ. Both of our attractions rely on the natural beauty of water. Our solstices are flipped, but both of our summer solstices are likely to see precipitation. It also rains a lot in the during the spring equinox which I noticed was similar to Bolivia. During the Autumnal equinox, rain is very rare in Kiribati unlike Bolivia. Just like Bolivia, the best time to visit Kiribati is for the winter solstice; warmer with light chances of showers.
