The climate of Sucre (Bolivia)
Sucre is the seat of the Bolivian government. The city was founded by
the Spanish in the 16th century. Much of the old colonial charm can
still be found in the narrow streets. The city is also the religious
center for Bolivian Christians. Don’t be surprised when you run into
members of several different orders in their robes. The old cathedral
is well worth visiting. Sucre has a cold steppe climate with
temperatures below 18 degrees Celsius on average all year round. Most
of the rain falls during summer. This type of climate is a
transitional climate between a tropical rainforest climate and a
desert climate. Vegetation mainly consists of grasses and small plants
here.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
