Challapalca's high altitude, over 4,900 meters, makes the air pressure very low, which can cause headaches and fatigue. The town's location in the Andes Mountains also affects air pressure. The mountains block and redirect winds, making the air pressure drop even more.
During the dry season, from May to September, the air pressure is slightly higher due to the dry air. This brings clear skies and cold temperatures. In the wet season, from October to April, the air pressure is lower because of the moist air, resulting in cloudy skies and more rainfall.
Challapalca has a high-altitude, cold semi-arid climate. The low air pressure in this climate type makes the air feel thinner, which can cause breathing difficulties. The cold temperatures and low air pressure make it feel even chillier than it actually is.
