The climate of Valdivia (Chile)
Valdivia lies in the south of Chile. The town has a Dutch background.
The WIC captain Hendrik Brouwer once conquered the town and put it
into Dutch hands. When he passed away the Spaniards then took it back
very quickly again. In the town you can still find some old remainders
from those former days. On some spots it still breathes the old
Spanish and Dutch atmosphere. The town has the questionable honour of
having had the heaviest earthquake ever. In 1960 a force was
registered here of 9.5 on the Richter scale. Islands such as Japan and
Hawaï had to contend with heavy tsunamis. Valdivia has a moderate
maritime climate. Due to the influence of the sea summer- and winter
temperatures do not differ very much. The cold sea- current in front
of the coast however does cause the supply of cold air. Rain occurs
here the whole year round. The place has to deal with most showers in
the spring and the autumn. In the winter months the temperature drops
below zero but stays around freezing-point. The summers are agreeably
warm.

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:
