Climate - Trelew (Argentina)

Trelew's climate is temperate arid, with quite mild winters (during which it can get cold at night) and hot summers (but with generally cool nights). The wind blows frequently.
The city is located in south-central Argentina, in Patagonia, at 43 degrees south latitude, on the banks of the Chubut River, and about 20 km (12 mi) away from the coast. In the latter, Playa Union is located, while a short distance away is the city of Rawson.
Even though it is located near the coast, the city is is subject to sudden changes in temperature, in fact, it is exposed both to outbreaks of cold air of Antarctic origin and to invasions of hot air of tropical origin.
Winter, from June to August, is quite dry, so snowfalls are rare and not abundant. Furthermore, since the city is located on the coast, cold air does not settle easily on the ground, and the temperature always exceeds freezing during the day. During cold spells, however, the night temperature can drop to around -10 °C (14 °F).
In summer, from December to February, it can sometimes get cold at night, while in other circumstances there can be heat waves, in which the temperature can reach 38/40 °C (100/104 °F). In any case, the wind blows frequently even in this season, moreover, the sea is cold.
About 85 km (52 mi) south of Trelew is Punta Tombo, a small peninsula that is home to the largest penguin colony in Argentina.
