The climate of Puerto Montt (Chile)
Puerto Montt lies in the south of Chile. The town was founded in the
16th century as a gate to the nearby sea. Then a large group of German
immigrants lived there. Puerto Montt is a real port town. Cruise ships
regularly call at the town. There are many different restaurants where
you can enjoy all kinds of delicious seafood. The marketplace of
Angelmao is worth a visit. At this market you cannot only buy
delicious fresh products, but also all kinds of handicraft which have
been made by inhabitants of nearby islands. If you want to purchase a
souvenir then this is the place to do that.
Puerto Montt has a moderate maritime climate. Its situation against
the Andes and on the sea causes heavy showers every now and then. The
summers can be compared with those on the North European continent.
The temperature is agreeable but does not rise very high. The
wintermonths are mild with temperatures dropping only e few degrees
below zero. Due to its situation on the sea the average temperature in
the summer and the winter does not differ that much. The cold sea
current in front of the coast does cause a somewhat lower temperature
than one might expect in that degree of latitude.

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:
