Weather
The Climate of Tierra del Fuego belongs to Sub polar Oceanic. Although temperatures
are cold during all the year, it is possible to appreciate Magellan forest. Ushuaia has
a average temperature of 5,7 °C and a low annual temperature variation, from -0,3 in
July to 9,4 °C in January; it is not common temperatures over 15 °C in Summer or
less than -8 °C in Winter. Record of absolute temperatures are 29,4 °C (December)
and -25,1 °C (July). Cold is so constant, that in Summer it snows eventually, or
temperatures like -6 °C. Precipitations, that in Winter usually falls as snow, are
constant during the year (524 mm). Even if it doesn’t seem too much, because of the
low temperature, they help to consider Ushuaia as a city with wet weather; it also
helps that it rains 200 days a year. Strong winds from the western quadrant,
originated in the Pacific, feels hard in the city. They give their shape to unprotected
trees that grows with their crowns following wind direction. These are called “flag
trees”.
