The climate of Neuquén (Argentina)
Neuquén is located slightly west from central Argentina where the
Neuquén River and the Limay River flow into each other to form the
Dulce River. Neuquén is the largest city in the Neuquén province of
which it also is the capital. This part of Argentina is also referred
to as Patagonia. The city is situated in between a valley and a
plateau which gives the city its characteristic view from an elevated
position. The most beautiful attractions are Balcón de Valle and the
Plaza de las Banderas. Neuquén is at an altitude of 260 meters.
Neuquén has a moderate climate with distinct summers and winters. The
high mountain tops in the region are responsible for little rainfall
on an annual basis. Snowfall is uncommon; once every 5 years on
average. Winters are cold. Subzero temperatures are not uncommon; even
during the day. In the higher regions floods are not uncommon; caused
by heavy rainfall which is not uncommon in the higher regions.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
