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!

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!

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!
