When to go to Ushuaia

Like the rest of Argentina, the weather in Ushuaia can be unpredictable. You might see all four seasons in one day, especially the wind and the cold, and thanks to the sea, the weather can change abruptly. However, this also means you can enjoy Ushuaia’s landscapes all year round.

Summer

The summer months run between December and March, with moderate temperatures around 13 degrees Celsius. There are also extended hours of daylight. With this pleasant weather, many people come to the city to take advantage of its many outdoor activities.

Spring

October to December brings spring to Ushuaia, with average temperatures between 2 and 10 degrees Celsius. Days have plenty of daylight, and the landscape is covered with blooms. Although the nearby hills will still be blanketed with snowfall, there are plenty of hiking and trekking trails to enjoy.

Autumn

Between April and May, temperatures start to cool, and sunlight disappears earlier in the day. However, the sky will be awash with orange, gold, and amber hues, making any hike you take feel magical. This low season also sees fewer crowds, meaning you’ll have the opportunity to discover the landscape as it was intended – between yourself and nature!

Winter

The winter months are between May and August and tend to be very cold and dark, with temperatures ranging between -1 to 5 degrees Celsius. During these months, some hotels and tourism services will be shut. However, it’s prime skiing time, which means it’ll be busy with tourists, and any open hotels will be booked early.
