The climate of La Plata (Argentina)
La Plata is located in the north eastern part of Argentina on the Rio
de la Plata River in the Buenos Aires province. It is also the capital
of this province. La Plata is a so called planned city. This means
that the form and shape of the city were designed by an architect;
Peter Benoit. Whilst designing La Plata Peter Benoit was mainly
inspired by the latitudinal and longitudinal shapes of the
Metropolitana de la Plata Cathedral. The city gives the impression of
being built in accordance with a rectangular grid; it is nicknamed the
city of diagonals. This style is also known as El Higienismo.
La Plata has a moderate climate with pleasant summers and mild
winters. Most of the rain falls during the summer. In combination with
high temperatures this may give rise to high humidity figures. The
annual humidity figure is 77.2% on average. Winters are mild and
subzero temperatures are uncommon. The lowest temperature on record is
-5.7 degrees Celsius. During the entire last century two snowy days
were recorded.

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:
