INDEX OF ALL states AND LOCATIONSWeather
Because of these great differences of latitude and altitude there are many differences of weather and climate within Argentina.
Argentina can be divided into four broad climatic regions.
East Central Argentina or the Pampas It is well outside the tropics and has an adequate rainfall of between 500 mm/20 in and 1,000 mm/40 in per year. Winters are mild and summers warm, with more rainfall during the summer months.
The North-eastern Interior temperatures remain quite high around the year. For much of the time, conditions are sunny and dry. Occasional cold spells in winter may bring temperatures near or below freezing for a few hours but the winters are generally mild or even warm.
Western Argentina Western Argentina, including the northern Andes, is a dry, semi-arid region and the lowlands are a virtual desert. Rainfall is more frequent during the summer months, which are generally hot and very sunny. Sunshine hours average as much as ten hours a day in summer and between seven and eight in winter.
Patagonia or Southern Argentina region has a typical cool, temperate climate, rather similar to that of the British Isles; but the dryness is unusual for such high latitude.
Flooding, particularly in the northern provinces of Argentina, is seasonal and may disrupt local transport and the provision of essential services.
