Due to its great extension, to its tropical latitude, and to the combination of elevations reaching from the highest summits of over 6000 metres, down to the eastern tropical plains, the Province of Salta offers a variety of weather conditions.

Located at the central Valle del Lerma Valley, the City of Salta has a mild weather with an average annual temperature of 16º C, and a range of rainfalls of about 700 mm a year, mostly during the southern hemisphere's summer.

In the central region, which holds the main tourist attractions, the weather is moderate and dry throughout the year, with an average temperature of around 18º C.

There is the belief that during the southern hemisphere's summer months, conditions get too hot, but this is true only for the Chaco Region, in the northern part of the Province, where there is hardly any tourist activity.

According to the Thornthwaite weather classification, there are 14 defined Climatic Types in the territory of the Province.
