The climate of Mar del Plata (Argentina)
Mar del Plata is a popular seaside resort on Argentina’s east coast in
the Argentina province. Because of its favourable situation on the
Atlantic Ocean Mar del Plata has developed itself as the most
important seaside resort of the country and is also called the
Atlantic Pearl. On a yearly basis about 3 million tourists visit Mar
del Plata. The old part of the city was redesigned during the second
part of the last century by several famous architects who built many
picturesque Art Deco buildings. In subsequent years many
characteristic tourist high-rise buildings were built, which detracts
from the cityscape.
Mar del Plata has a moderate sea climate. Rainfall is evenly spread
out over the year. During the winter the amount of rainfall is a
little less on average. Average temperatures are a little lower than
you would expect from a poplar seaside resort such as Mar del Plata.
During the summer night time temperatures may even get cold. Sleeping
under just a sheet is not warm enough. About 10 to 12 times per year
temperatures rise above 30 degrees Celsius on average. Winters are
cold, but temperatures are somewhat being moderated by its situation
on the coast. Snowfall is uncommon.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
