We are planning a trip to Buenos Aires
in the month of January, but I heard from
a friend, that its very hot and humid.............. that is much better in
March, and I need some advise from the
Fodorites, THANKS.

Never been there in January but I was there just this past March and the weather was in the low 80's F.

it was very nice for touring and walking around.

Late October/early November was great in '06 - would plan mid November for several weeks next visit.

Can't speak to January, but we were there early December thru Xmas and it was hot and humid. Incredibly intense sun when you weren't in the shade. I woul dwait until March.

If you are coming from the northern hemisphere, simply add 6 months to the current one and you will have an approximate idea of what weather to expect. Keep in mind that Argentina is very long and has many climate zones at any one time. Decide where you want to visit, then you can decide what type of clothing is required. Hope this helps.

March and November are the two best months to visit Buenos Aires in my experienc. Fall and Spring, with moderate temperatures and sunny days.

Jan. can be hot and humid. If you must visit during this month get a place with good a good air conditioner and you will be fine.

Thanks to all, for the comments and
for the orientation.
I live in Miami, so I know what Hot
and Humid weather is.... I think I will
wait until March!
THANKS

Hi, I lived in BA for 10 years before moving to the US. The best times for me are mid-March to mid-April (beginning of the fall), and then late September (beginning of the spring). This is the ideal weather for wondering around, with just a light jacket in the evening. Howver, with climate change, nowadays you never really know what to expect of the weather anywhere.

I was there in November and found it warm and lovely. No coat needed but it wasn't so hot that you were miserable. It is such a wonderful place that I think I would jump at the chance to go no matter what time of year it was.

Kudos for SharonG, who has been absent from the Argentina forum lately!

Thanks Avrooster! I have a new job and lost my home computer so I'm kind of limited right now on my ability to get my Fodors fix. But I haven't forgotten my BA experience and am living vicariously through Scarlett's reports!
