Climate Chart of Mendoza, Argentina

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

Climate overview

Temperature

The coolest monthly mean temperature occurs in July at 7.0 °C, while the warmest occurs in January at 24.0 °C. These are averages across each month, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they describe the broad thermal pattern rather than the range a visitor might encounter within a day. The unweighted mean of the monthly means is 15.4 °C; it summarizes the calendar-month averages without weighting them by the number of days in each month.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its monthly high in February at 2.33 mm/day, and its low in July at 0.24 mm/day. The figures describe average daily amounts, not monthly totals, and do not show how often rain falls or guarantee dry weather in the lower-rainfall month. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean daily rainfall is 1.07 mm/day. For planning, treat these averages as context rather than a forecast for particular dates.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in December at 12.54 hours/day and lowest in May at 7.65 hours/day. The unweighted mean across the monthly figures is 10.11 hours/day per day. These values can help with broad outdoor-planning expectations, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not guarantee clear skies on an individual day.

Snow

The highest supplied mean daily snowfall is 0.40 mm/day in both May / August, while the unweighted mean across monthly figures is 0.17 mm/day. These are daily mean amounts, not monthly totals; they do not establish how many days have snowfall, snow depth, snow cover, or whether conditions suit skiing.

Best Travel Time Guide for Mendoza, Argentina: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

If lower average rainfall is your priority, July is the conditional option in the supplied figures, with mean daily rainfall of 0.24 mm/day. This does not guarantee dry days or indicate rain frequency, so retain flexible plans and check forecasts close to travel. For rain preparation, note that the highest monthly mean daily rainfall is in February at 2.33 mm/day; practical protection from showers remains sensible. Visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages can look to July, when the monthly mean temperature is 7.0 °C; it is an average, not a daytime high or a promise about conditions on a particular day. For outdoor sightseeing planned around sunshine duration, December has the highest mean at 12.54 hours/day, while May has the lowest at 7.65 hours/day. These criteria point to different considerations rather than a single universal best time to visit, and sunshine duration does not represent day length.

The recorded snowfall mean reaches its supplied high of 0.40 mm/day in May / August. That daily average alone cannot tell you whether snow will be present during a visit, how deep or persistent it may be, or whether skiing conditions are available; check current conditions if snowfall is relevant to your plans.
