Humid summers, Humid winters
Río de la Plata maritime climate — moderated by the massive estuary into mild summers (22-23°C) and cool wet winters (11°C lows). Year-round high humidity (73-84%) means summer feels hotter and winter feels colder than the thermometer says. Spring (Oct-Dec) and autumn (Mar-Apr) are the consensus best windows. Skip July-August unless you want fog, drizzle, and the chance of pampero wind (cold south-Atlantic frontal blasts).
