Chile: Climate & Weather
The climate in Chile is dependent on its great expanse from north to south as well as the resulting great differences in latitude and the influences of the Pacific Ocean sea currents. In the north, the weather is relatively dry and fairly temperate.
In the centre the climate is more Mediterranean with rains that continue from May to August and temperatures of 28°C in January. In the south, wind, rain and snow are all rare and summer has temperatures of a maximum of 10°C. You will therefore benefit from great conditions when visiting the centre of Chile from September to November or February to April, the National Park or the lakes region in summer from December to March and the ski resorts from June to August. |
