Argentina Average Temperature

Argentina experiences a multitude of climatic conditions whose patterns vary greatly from region to region. The reason for this marked fluctuation in Argentina weather is the country’s great extension from north to south, and the different elevations of its regions. While most of the country retains a temperate climatic disposition, the far north experiences a tropical climate, conditions becoming increasingly sub-polar the closer an area is to Argentina’s southern tip.

Argentina weather in the northern parts of the country is classified as warm and humid sub-tropical climate, characterised by the extensive rainfall it receives throughout the year. Winters (June to September) in north Argentina are relatively dry and less hot. Iguazu receives on average around 1800 mm of precipitation per year, and the area of Chaco around 760mm with annual average temperatures of 23°C. Along the border with Chile, the the north-west area near the Andes experiences annual average temperatures of around 14°C while average annual rainfall levels drop significantly to only 50 mm.

Strong winds and significantly lower rainfall dominate condition in the south of the country, whose climate is classified as sub-Arctic. Although largely moderate during spring and autumn, weather in Northern Patagonia is frequently punctuated by spells of cold. During the summer months of January and February, temperatures can soar to over 30°C but given the variability of the weather, they can also fall to considerably cooler, even colder levels. In Glaciers National Park the temperature varies between 12°C and 20°C and can go up to 28°C in summer.

At the extreme south, however, conditions become unquestionably colder; the maximum average temperatures range from 15°C to 4°C while the average minimum varies from -1°C to 5°C
