Argentina is located in the Southern hemisphere, so the seasons are reversed. As the country is very large, the different climates are quite varied. In January, the hottest month of the summer, temperatures in Buenos Aires exceed 30°C, while in Tierra del Fuego, the thermometer reaches almost 15°C.

During your trip to Argentina, you will be confronted with many climatic variations. This is due to the size of the country and the significant difference in altitude in its regions.
The North has a warm and particularly humid tropical climate. There are therefore two seasons, the dry season from May to September and the rainy season from November to March. Showers can be violent but usually of short duration. In this part of the country, it is better to organize your visits during the dry period because the temperatures are mild during the day and the rainfalls are not very frequent.
To discover Buenos Aires, the best time is spring from September to December as well as March and April. The Summer period should be avoided, temperatures are very hot and can exceed 30°C/86°F, and also the winter months, which are often too humid.
The Pampa has a temperate climate with hot and humid summers as well as mild and relatively dry winters. The coldest region is Patagonia. During winter, in some remote villages temperatures can drop to -35°C/-°31F
The winds are very strong. Summers are rather mild and sunny. In the southern tip of the country in Tierra del Fuego, there is rain, snow and strong wind all year round. Summer is non-existent there.
Due to the diversity of the different climates, it is not always easy to define the ideal period for your trip to Argentina. However, we recommend the months of October to November and March to April to avoid the heat wave in the North of the country and the cold in the South.
