Climate and Weather in Buenos Aires

Best Times to Visit Buenos Aires

On July 9, 2007, the people of Buenos Aires experienced a rare occurrence – snow fall, the city’s first since 1918. Generally, the climate here is mild all year round. There are no extreme hot days or cold nights here. The mean temperature is around 64 degree Fahrenheit (18 C).

January and February are the hot and humid months when Portenos (which is what the city’s inhabitants call themselves) who are immune to the city’s declining fortunes head out to the coast. As a consequence, you’ll get to share this beautiful city with fewer people on your medical tourism jaunt. On the downside, some of the museums and galleries may close down for annual repair or construction work during this time.

July is the coldest month of the calendar when temperatures, although moderate in the daytime, drop considerably during evenings. Spring falls between March to June and autumn comes around in September and stays till December. These are the most pleasant times to visit the city, and although some intermittent spring rain isn’t uncommon, the gorgeous weather draws the city’s beautiful people and medical tourism travelers out for a stroll. In fact the rains often help clear the city’s notorious smog contributed in no small measure by the 40,000 taxicabs and thousands more private vehicles that ply its streets, spewing back fumes into what’s ironically enough, called “the city of good air!”

A Jam Packed Calendar

It isn’t just the cafes, European architecture, and elegant boulevards that earned Buenos Aires the name “the Paris of South America.” The city offers art lovers, fashion enthusiasts, or just those looking for a good time 365 days of non stop action. There’s always something going on at a place near you. February kicks off the calendar with its Carnaval, a watered down version of the raunchier, headier one in neighboring Brazil. In late February, the tango festival begins, and goes on till early March. Don’t miss the chance to watch the city’s finest tangueros strut their stuff. For those who like their movies with subtitles, the independent film festival rolls out in April, while the city’s fashionable set turn out in their Chanels for the August fashion week. Come September and the Feria de Anticuarios attracts thousands of locals, medical tourism visitors, and connoisseurs to an antique exposition where countless antiques are up for sale. Don’t expect marked down prices, but anticipate a fair amount of drooling over some of the most beautiful collector’s items in Buenos Aires.
