June in Bolivia is the first winter month.
In the
northern lowlands, occupied by the forest, where it is hot all year round (see Cobija, Riberalta), it is the coolest month of the year along with July. Average daily temperatures are 24/25 °C (75/77 °F). Sometimes cool air can arrive, and at night the temperature can drop to 12/13 °C (54/55 °F) or a little lower. During the day, on the other hand, it can get very hot, and the temperature can reach 35 °C (95 °F). Winter in the north is the only dry season, with rare rainfall.
In the
central-southern plains, in the Gran Chaco, occupied by the savannah, the average temperatures are a little lower, around 21/22 °C (70/72 °F), however, the variations are greater than in the north, in fact, the cold winds coming from Argentine pampas, the surazos, can lower the night temperature to about 5 °C (41 °F) or a little below, while at other times the temperature can reach 35 °C (95 °F). Even here, however, it is the dry season, and the rains are rare.
In the
Andes (see La Paz, Sucre, Lake Titicaca, Salar de Uyuni), it is a dry and sunny period. During the day the air is mild, but at night it gets cold, and above 3,500 meters (11,500 feet) the temperatures usually drop below freezing.
Although we are in the tropics, so the length of the
day does not vary much over the course of the year, June and July are the months in which the days are shortest, and last about 11.5 hours in the north and 11 hours in the south.
