Buenos Aires is a city to visit all year round

With an average annual temperature of 18ºC (64 ° F), the days of intense heat and cold are not so many.

The coldest month is July. Although there are no frosts, it is necessary to go out with a wool coat, jacket, especially, scarf and, for the coldest, gloves and a hat. In winter the cold is moderate during the day, but at night the temperature drops considerably. In addition, the humidity makes it feel more.

In summer the heat is usually humid. The mornings are hot, towards noon and during the early afternoon the temperatures increase significantly and at night the heat decreases slightly, so cool and light clothing is worn.
