One of the coldest days of the year, will it snow in Buenos Aires?

Hey folks, if you are in Buenos Aires you could experience yourself how cold it was today! If you aren’t here, well let me tell you that temperature during the morning felt like 30 F (wow!) and it will keep on getting colder tonight.

Aside from the cold, we have rain also still here. Not so strong as the past few days but the sky is cloudy and we could see some rain. Also, the wind is really strong so there is a small possibility it may snow in Buenos Aires. Who knows? Perhaps it could happen if, as forecasted temperature continues to drop and rain stays among us. However, do know that it never snows here. It only happened twice, the first one around 1930 and the second one 2 years ago so even though we would very much like it to snow we should be realistic and know that the probabilities are really low.

Anyway, be prepared because as we reach Friday the temperature will go even lower!

It's raining in Buenos Aires

Hey folks! Boy, is it raining in Buenos Aires! Today I got a good taste of the rain we had after Day's friend in Buenos Aires. You didn't know that, right? Yesterday was "friend's day" in Buenos Aires. Why? Well, we love to celebrate, we love friends, we love hanging out so why don't have a special day of the year dedicated exclusively to our friends?

A man called Enrique Febbraro, an argentinean profesor, musician and dentist came up with this great idea honoring the first moon landing on 1969. According to Febbraro, on July 20 19

69 we were all pending on these 3 astronauts and therefore we were friends with them and at the same time they were friends with the universe. Hence, he thought this would be a great opportunity to have an international friend's day. Every year we gather and the city receives thousands of friends who gather in order to celebrate. This year, due to the swine flu we had less people on restaurants but it was still fun!

Now, back to the weather. Friend's day went thru just fine, however around 3 AM we begun hearing the thunders that anticipated the huge storm that came afterwards. We had lots of rain that lasted all night and in fact, right now it is 4.30 PM and it's still raining. Temperature now is 51.

Check this picture, it is from 9 AM this morning right at the city center. I love Buenos Aires

downtown, even when it's raining!

Ever wander what to do in Buenos Aires on rainy days? Belgrano is a great option, you have a couple of museams and lots of cafes to spend the day so don't let the rain stop you!

It's also cold so if you are going out don't forget your umbrella and a warm jacket. In fact, make sure you do this for the next couple of days since we have more rain ahead at least for tomorrow and cold is coming. Beware that friday's low temperature is expected to be around 33 so Buenos Aires keeps getting cold!

See ya!

Gray morning, sunny afternoon in Buenos Aires

That’s right, this morning was an ugly one as far as weather is concerned in Buenos Aires. It was really cold, we had some rain too and it looked like one of those days to stay in. However, I just heard the birds singing and as I turned my face I could see the sky is clearing out. Clouds are leaving and the sun is finally here!

Do know that it is still cold (55 F), but luckily no rain ahead.

See ya later!

Cold gray Buenos Aires winter

Today has not been one of the greatest days Buenos Aires climate has to offer. It’s rather cold (about 50 F) and the cloud is just awful! Take a look at the pictures I took a few minutes ago to show you what I am talking about. There is no wind, but like I said it is cold and it feels like a good idea to stay in and watch a movie while eating popcorn! It may rain, so be prepared and make sure you bring an umbrella if you are going out.

We are indeed in the coldest month of the year in Buenos Aires so it’s no big news that we have these days. In fact, the weather during July has been quite generous with us. We have had plenty of sunny days so far compared to last winter temperatures in Buenos Aires. Remember that a couple of years ago, we had snow this time of the year. Of course, that was quite an event here in Buenos Aires since it never snows.

Buenos Aires is cold, especially during the mornings and evenings. Apart from that, there is too

much humidity in the air which makes winters so cold and summers so hot. As you know, humidity makes temperature feel more intense.

In any case, if you are visiting Buenos Aires a day like today could be a good opportunity to visit the Museum of Spanish Art Enrique Larreta located in Belgrano. I visited it a few weeks ago and it an awesome place, don’t miss it!

Take care and see you later!

Buenos Aires Weather Forecast for July 13 2009

Will come back later for tomorrow’s forecast!

Not so cold afternoon in Buenos Aires

Hey there! This is me again broadcasting from Buenos Aires. Temperature is 60 F this afternoon, it’s 2.30 PM here and this is as hot as it gets today folks! The sky is just beautiful today, just a couple of clouds and no rain ahead which makes this the perfect afternoon to do some exercise outdoors so don’t be shy and go to Palermo and workout!

Mornings are a bit cold as well as evenings (around 45 F) but that’s winter and we are lucky that this year is not so severe. Do know however, that we are in the middle of a very cold week so if you are planning on visiting Buenos Aires please bring warm clothes;  otherwise you will have to buy some while you are here.

Tomorrow Tuesday we can expect a really cold morning, clear sky and mild winds.

Cold day in Buenos Aires and cold week ahead of us!

Today it was really cold, temperature was not so low but the wind made things look worse. We learned there is 1 week of cold weather ahead of us. Luckily, no rain J

This afternoon temperature was around 53 F and the sky was clear, but like I said above the wind made us all want to stay in. The wind and the swine flu of course. About the swine flu, we now hear that the situation is getting better. People are more informed (the government has open phone lines and all sorts of publicity on TV, Internet, newspapers providing info about the N1H1 flu) and therefore the number of consultations has dropped. Of course, like I said in my previous post, we are in winter and that hit us hard. If this had happened in spring or summer like it did in Mexico, the situation wouldn’t have been so crazy. We are advised to stay at home and if we show the symptoms we receive the medication to fight the virus, so as long as we are responsible there’s no need to panic. I know I am not panicking!

Anyway, if you are about to visit Buenos Aires, bring warm clothes and don’t be afraid!

Stay tuned for a new update on tomorrow’s weather in Buenos Aires, I can tell you now that tomorrow it will be really cold!

Have a good one!

Ugly rainy day in Buenos Aires

That’s right, today has been an ugly rainy day here. Not so cold, temperature during the afternoon was around 60 F which combined with the high humidity we had made the day even worse. Buenos Aires (translated to English means Good Airs) is known for its high humidity. That’s why summers are so hot and winters can get even colder, it never snows here because of that too.

Anyway, today was a day to stay in. The rain made this a grey day and that along with the swine flu has kept everybody in their homes. Schools are closed for about one month as from today in Buenos Aires (and many other provinces as well). I am sure you heard lots of things about the swine flu in Buenos Aires, IMHO I think there is too much paranoia in the air rather than H1N1 virus. Of course, we are in winter and people get the flu! It happens every year and the mortality rate for the “regular flu” is actually higher than the swine’s. The government is taking action and the media is making this bigger than it actually is. I do agree that we need to be careful, but we can’t let fear dominate us, don’t you agree?

Ok folks, back to work. I’ll come back later with a forecast for tomorrow. Let’s hope this rain leaves us  soon!

Have a good one!
