As of 28 November, in Bolivia, extreme temperatures and drought conditions are already affecting around 410,000 households or approximately 1.4 million people corresponding to almost a ninth part of the total population. In August, the country recorded its highest temperature of 45 degrees Celsius. Potosí, one of the most affected regions, has reduced water flow by a third, restricting water for both human consumption and agricultural use. The extreme drought is attributed to a combination of climate change and the triggering conditions of El Niño.
