This region is renowned for its stunning mountain ranges (the Sierras) and during the summer the weather resembles that of the Mediterranean. The climate in this part of the country is divided into two main areas close to the Pampas, there is a temperate climate, while in the north, the climate is more subtropical and there is a clear dry season from November to February (with temperatures around 30☌). The humidity here is between 75 and 90%, and in both provinces you’ll find strong winds hailing from the east. The Corrientes benefits from a relatively mild climate, however the Misiones is the wettest region of the country, with no dry season and heavy rainfall (especially at night). Located in the northeast of Argentina, the Misiones and Corrientes provinces have subtropical climates, with average temperatures of 16-18☌ in the winter and 25☌ in the summer (sometimes peaking at 40☌). Springtime, from September to November, is a good time to visit, as days are less humid but still warm. Thankfully, the city’s humidity is often diminished by the presence of two winds, the Pampero (from the southwest) and Sudestada (from the southeast), which offer respite from the sometimes stifling heat. On the other hand, January is the warmest and most humid month, averaging around 25☌, although sometimes reaching highs of 40☌. The winter months (from May to September) are mild, and July is generally the coldest month, with average temperatures of 11☌. The country’s capital, Buenos Aires, has a temperate yet humid climate. October to mid-December (their spring) and April to mid-June (their autumn) are generally the best times to visit Argentina, in order to avoid tourist crowds and the higher prices of peak season. The best time to visit Argentina therefore differs depending on the region that you wish to visit the northernmost regions boast the warmest temperatures, with a subtropical climate, while the southern regions are subject to Arctic influences and located within a ‘subarctic’ climate zone. Thanks to these altitude variations and the country’s immense size, the climate throughout Argentina varies considerably and, given its location in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are generally opposite to those in the UK. There are also significant differences in altitudes across the country, ranging from 344ft below sea level (Laguna del Carbón) to over 22,000ft above sea level (Cerro Aconcagua). As the eighth largest country in the world, stretching 2,360 miles from north to south, Argentina encompasses a wide array of landscapes and terrains.
