“…A decreasing pattern of RH values with elevation is in agreement with the inverse relationship between elevation and precipitation (Ghimire et al, 2018; Palazzi et al, 2015), which is usually positively correlated to RH (e.g., Vicente‐Serrano et al, 2014). Finally, we highlight the importance of monitoring regional RH levels over time since this parameter can have implications for the severity and intensity of drought events (Karimi et al, 2020), crop yield (Arrizabalaga‐Arriazu et al, 2021), pathogen infection rate (Muñoz‐Adalia & Colinas, 2021), pollutant concentration levels (Eren et al, 2023) and human health (Kumharn et al, 2023), among other factors. Consequently, the observed decrease in Bolivia during the cold season could have ecological and socioeconomic implications.…”

This study analyzes the long‐term observed changes of mean (Tmean), maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) air temperatures, relative humidity (RH) and vapour pressure deficit (VPD) at different elevation ranges across Bolivia from 1950 to 2019. The linear trends in air temperature series present a significant increase, with no substantial seasonal or spatial differences. On an annual basis, RH exhibited a non‐significant decrease (−0.08% decade−1), while VPD showed a significant increase (0.01 hPa decade−1) (p < 0.05). Although prior research has suggested that highland elevations experience faster warming than the global average, we have not identified a distinct correlation between elevation gradients and differential warming rates in Bolivia. Future research could investigate elevation‐dependent climate trends by examining seasonal and monthly patterns of climatic variables in relation to topographical gradients in various highland regions.
