The best time to visit Buenos Aires is all year round. Hot and cold weather are erratic and can occur at any time of the day, even out of season. During autumn (April – June) and spring (September – December) temperatures are mild and humidity is unlikely to rise beyond unbearable conditions. These pleasing shoulder seasons usher in thinner crowds, mild temperatures and colourful plant life. Fewer crowds pull into the city, and hotels offer a moderate rate in accommodation. Off peak season starts in June and ends in August, and is usually filled with rainy days, cold temperatures and fewer tourists. However, if you like the scorching summer sun of the Buenos Aires climate, you will find sweltering heat from January all through to February. This is the peak season and crowds as well as room rates tend to swell during this time. Whilst the season remains a popular time to visit, temperatures often wells up into the 90 degree Celsius, leaving a hot, clammy feel in the air.
