The Province of Cordoba welcomes the traveller with its privileged climate. It is located on one of the territories with the kindest climate within Argentina. Its weather conditions can only be described as 'Mediterranean', whereas its eastern borderline is 480 kilometres away from the Atlantic Ocean and its western edge is 520 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean.

During the summer season the days are warm but the nights display a pleasant temperature decrease. It gets drier during winters, although it never gets badly cold. The annual average temperatures are approximately between 16° C and 17° C. Temperatures could vary throughout the year within a range in between 14 and 15° C

Rain amounts hardly surpass 500 cubic millimetres by the year. What is more, during the summer season it could be of 800 mm3, let alone the north western zone of the province, where rain levels hardly exceed the mark of 200 cubic millimetres a year. Eastern and western winds are rare, short-lived and weak.

South and northeast winds start to blow during the month of September, increasing their strength while a nucleus of cyclonic depression gets defined at the Antarctic frontline.

Strong and windy storms are frequent during the months of summer, along with heavy rains and electric storms. Sleek is not unusual during this season, bringing sometimes a lot of havoc and destruction with them.

Since the early times of the tourist boom in Argentina, the Province of Cordoba became one of the main nation-wide centres of this activity, due to a collection of factors, among which we can mention the great scenarios of its highlander landscapes and the gentleness of its weather.

The fresh air, lots of sunny times and the pleasant temperatures it shows throughout most of the seasons of the year, along with the strikingly beautiful landscapes of the region, are some of the chief reasons that made possible the preference shown by all-around-the-world visitors for these lands, as well as giving a big thrust to all tourist enterprises.

Besides these averages, there are a great variety of local climates and microclimates that give good reason for the fame of Cordoba as a major tourist centre within the Country of Argentina since the late 19th century.

Its weather properties are so many that decades before, when medicine lacked the present day weaponry with which to fight diseases, it was a very frequent fact to hear from physicians to prescribe their patients to take 'a change of airs', promptly following this statement by prompting you to make a healing visit to the Sierras of Cordoba.
