Don't know what the weather is today but we were there last year in September and the weather was magnificent. Low seventies during the day and not probably in the mid sixties at night. Also was very dry.
Enjoy your trip.

hi, have a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day_f.shtml?world=0111

as you can see, it's pretty cold, hadnt been too bad then they even had snow !! Unheard of for many years. But pretty much dry, take warm clothes though, it's the wind chill factor which can really make a difference. You'll find many cafe's to warm up in though. Enjoy, is a fabulous city.

Just returned from 10 days in BsAS yesterday; it was at least chilly most days, downright cold a couple and rainy once or twice. I got by just fine with the layers approach - a long sleeve T topped by a long sleeve button or a polo type shirt or a light sweater. Sometimes I wore a blazer as well but found it was really too much. I had a medium weight car coat and a leather trench that I alternated and used my hat and gloves a couple times. On the really cold days when I would be walking a lot I used my trusty silk long johns, but most days was fine in jeans without them. A scarf is pretty indispensable, and seems to be a standard part of local fashion.
Right by the river - e.g., Puerto Madera - it was colder with the breeze off the water.

Thank you. Thank you Seamus after your bad experience, of which I read in another post. I am taking a few coats, sweaters etc but I' m confident that the weather will be better. The question of the cameras or pickpockets it is a shame , it is the same or similar all over the world.
I am always a little concerned when taking money out of ATM machines but except for looking around and going if possible with someone else I could not figured out anything better...
