La Paz - Baja California Sur state capital
La Paz (lah-PAHS) which means “peace” in Spanish is the state capital of Baja California Sur and the second largest city south of Tijuana on the Baja. As the region’s commercial, cultural and political center, La Paz is a tranquil and very Mexican port. It has preserved a sort of nostalgic “old Baja” atmosphere. The climate is typically dry, warm and sunny with a year around average of between 23C-25C. Summer months (July-September) are often in the 30’s and can be humid. The winter months (December-February) are the coldest with temperatures dropping below 15C, but mostly in the low 20’sC. Breezes from Bahia de La Paz keep the temperature mild. The bay also acts as a barrier against seasonal storms in the Sea of Cortez. Rainfall is minimal, although infrequent downpours can bring heavy rains. La Paz usually averages in with over 300 days of sunshine annually. You can find detailed La Paz weather forecasts at the official La Paz Infotheque weather page.
