Today's weather

Lake Chapala sits about 5,200 feet (1,584 meters) above sea level so there is virtually no humidity. The triple mountain range surrounding the lake protects the area from prevailing northerly winds creating a wonderful microclimate. The effects of the lake and mountains in Ajijic ensure that temperatures are warm year round, averaging about 23.34° C (74° F).
