Weather in La paz


My home page has several cities listed and it shows the weather for each. La Paz is at the top and it says the weather has been just about what you might expect-- high 90's for the highs for the last week or so, but night time temps seem questionable. Tonight it says to expect a low of 55 degrees and most nights it shows something in the low 60's -- is that right??? unless there is something serious going on a 40 degree variation from day to night is pretty unusual.

thanks-- Norm

Those readings, probably taken at the airport(?) are right.
It's running cooler during the heat of the day where you will be building than at the airport or in La Paz. The workers across the street from us show up in jackets early in the morning, complaining of the cold. It will end soon enough, but I am lovin' it now!

I had some issues with the weather forecasts not too long ago. They weren't anywhere near being accurate. In the last week, the evenings have been getting quite cool and breezy, but more like the mid to high 60's at the coolest in the city.

If you go to the Weather Underground website, you'll find accurate info on the current weather. Two reporting stations. One is the airport and the other (Marina) is a personal weather station belonging to some fellow Nomads.

I also saw a problem with Yahoo weather. You have to be careful which 'La Paz' in Mexico you are looking at.

According to Yahoo, both the links I listed are for:

* Weather >
* North America >
* Mexico >
* La Paz

This is the Yahoo link for La Paz, Bolivia:

You must have missed the news. No sunspot activity to speak of for quite some time. Ice age coming. Besides, Idaho is up there close to that country with all the Canadians living in it so it's supposed to be cold.

I notice that the colder MXMO0826 lists as "Nearby Locations" cities that are just east of Mexico City. I can't find a "La Paz" in that area though.
