Climate Chart of Río Grande, Argentina

Climate overview

Temperature

The coolest monthly mean temperature occurs in July at 1.7 °C, while the warmest occurs in January at 10.9 °C. These are averages for each month, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they describe the general temperature pattern rather than the full range visitors may encounter during a day. The unweighted mean of the monthly temperature means is 6.5 °C. It summarizes the calendar-month averages without weighting them by the number of days in each month.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in March at 1.74 mm/day and lowest in September at 0.69 mm/day. The lower average in the latter month may suit visitors prioritising a lower mean rainfall, but it does not guarantee dry days or indicate how often rain occurs. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily rainfall figures is 1.15 mm/day. These are daily averages, not monthly rainfall totals, and should not be read as a forecast for an individual day.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall is highest in June at 1.46 mm/day, and lowest in January at 0.01 mm/day. These averages confirm recorded snowfall in the monthly data, but do not establish the number of snowy days, snow depth, snow cover or skiing conditions. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily snowfall figures is 0.46 mm/day. It is an average daily amount, not a monthly total.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine reaches its highest value in December at 11.97 hours/day, and its lowest in June at 3.91 hours/day. These figures can help with planning daylight outdoor activities, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of the monthly sunshine averages is 7.93 hours/day per day. It provides broad context rather than a promise of sunshine on any particular date.
