Ushuaia

Background

Historic details & submit details about the sailing/cruising in the area, etc.

Climate and Weather

Despite receiving only 56 cm (22 inches) of rainfall each year, Ushuaia's climate is very wet. On average, the city experiences 160 rainy days a year, and there are many cloudy and foggy days. Because temperatures are cool throughout the year, there is little evaporation. Snowfalls are common in winter and regularly happen in spring, fall, and even summer.

It belongs to the sub-polar oceanic climate. And advancing to the southern outer islands the southwestern winds makes them wetter, achieving 1400 mm (59) inches at Isla de los Estados (Staten Island). Averages temperatures coldest month: 1°C (33°F) and hottest month: 9°C (42°F). Record low -20 °C [-4°F] (July), record high 31 °C [87.8°F] (December) and record low ever recorded in summer -6 °C [21°F] (February). Very strong winds whip the town, and that is why trees growing here follow the wind direction, and therefore they are called "flag-trees" for the bend that they are forced to take.
