Best time to visit Ushuaia

February is the best month in Ushuaia, scoring 45 out of 100, with July the weakest at 21. The 24-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 7 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

February is the warmest month at 12.3 °C and July the coolest at 2.7 °C — a 9.6 °C spread across the year. It never reaches 30 °C in an average year, which takes heat off the list of reasons to avoid any particular month. At the other end, 67 nights a year fall below freezing: the winter here is a real one.

There is a real wet season here. January and December carry the rain — up to 23 wet days in a month — while August to October drop as low as 13. That 10-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Ushuaia, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight swings hard — 17.3 hours at midsummer against 7.2 at midwinter. That 10.1-hour difference changes how much fits into a day more than the temperature does.

The three strongest months are February, March, January. The one to think twice about is July. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
