Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at the centre: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

August: quiet. Busiest from November to February; quietest from April to October.

Public holidays in August

Holidays crowd a place out and push fares up around them; they count toward the crowd score above.

What to pack

  • A proper coat, hat and gloves: nights average -1°C.
  • A packable rain jacket for the 11 or so rainy days.
  • Humidity averages 82%; breathable fabrics dry faster.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.

Before you go

Type C and I plugs at 220 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Argentine convertible peso. No UK Foreign Office advice against travel. Everything for Argentina: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

On arrival in Ushuaia: the apps, paying, getting around, tipping and the emergency numbers.
