The Weather

You are holding the plane tickets and the moment to pack has come to an end, so here is when you wonder "Which clothes shoul I pack?" Do not panic! It is certain that many people do not bare this important item in mind until they are ready to leave. One thing you must know about Buenos Aires is that the weather is really wet and mild. We are use to wear many different clothes during teh whole year concerning huge variety of weather changes.

To begin properly, let´s make a difference between summer and winter time. As you may know summer time in this hemisphere starts in december when the sun shines and climate is really hot (temperature varies from 26 to 40 degrees). Sometimes people are warned because of the heatwave, so if you are planning to come during these months do not forget light fresh clothing such as Tshirts, shorts, and a swimsuit just in case you are invited to sunbathe near the river or the sea (In Mar del Plata or Pinamar- argentinian coast). In adittion, buy a repellent as soon as you can to avoid nasty mosquitos. It is also important that you put at least one sweater and a jacket -remember that, despite the heat, sometimes nights can be cool or even cold, especially in the coast area-.

On the other hand there is winter time which begins in June - I am sorry to dissapoint you but it never snows in Buenos Aires EVER!- so in spite of feeling really cold till your bones freeze at zero degrees, you will not be able to play with the such amazing snow. Then remember it is cold during winter time so that you pack gloves, extra sockets and a scarf.

As a conclusion I have to add that when spring and autumm come, the temperature changes a lot, the days are rainny (most of them), many times we suffer from hail (we hate it) and whenever you hear "hail alert" return the car you rented or make sure it is insured against all risks, hailstones are usually big and heavy to make several damages.

To sum up, remember packing all the accurate clothing so that you can avoid worring about our crazy weather.
