About Santa Cruz Weather
Santa Cruz, at 17.8° south latitude in Bolivia, lies within the tropics and experiences a warm, humid climate throughout the year. Temperatures typically range from 24°C to 35°C (75°F–95°F) regardless of month, with rainfall — rather than temperature — defining the seasons. The major city divides its year into a wet season (November – April), driven by the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone and monsoon circulation, and a drier period (May – October) of clearer skies and lower humidity. Even in the dry season, temperatures remain warm; the change in humidity and cloud cover is the most noticeable shift.
