Snowfall provides the water for the lake, with the average precipitation measured at 118 millimetres (4.6 in) between 2002–2007. According to estimates in 1955, slightly more than half of the lake water leaves the lake through seepage and the rest through evaporation. It is possible in the past

Water temperatures range from 1.4 to 4.3 °C (34.5 to 39.7 °F). Water temperatures are highest at the shore and decrease towards the centre of the lake. The lake is sometimes covered with ice, contrasting with other crater lakes in the region which were usually frozen. Currently, an ice

Air temperatures at Licancabur Lake range from 5 to −25 °C (41 to −13 °F) during the daytime and −25 to −45 °C (−13 to −49 °F) at night. The air pressure is less than half that at sea level. Water temperatures at the lake bottom are almost always below 0 °C (32 °F)
