In a thin strip that extends from north to south along the Patagonian mountain range, the cold humid climate prevails. Pacific influence regarding the production of rain and snow.

The typical feature of climate more distinctive for most of the province of Santa Cruz It is the almost constant blow of winds coming from the Pacific Ocean.

The influence of this cold humid climate does not exceed 50 kilometers from the international border with Chilemaking the contrast evident with respect to the climate typical of the plateau. The rains are autumn and winter. He Patagonian arid climateis characterized by having annual temperatures between 5 and 10 °C, ranging in January from 12 to 20 °C and in July from -15 to -7 °C.

Las precipitation They decrease from west to east, making noticeable the landscape contrast between the rainy mountainous region to the west and the plateau of reduced rainfall. the wind blowing from the west, northwest and southwest, it is a true protagonist that erodes everything in its path. On the central plateau, rainfall is low: it varies between 150 and 200 mm annually.

Las snowfall They are frequent throughout the province, being greater in the west near the cordillera than in the east near the coast, but in general it is common to see snow throughout the province, especially in winter.

Santa Cruz Ecosystem

In general, the climate of the region is arid and cold with very low temperatures almost all year round and strong thermal amplitudes and insufficient rainfall, determining the semi-desert biomewhere hard steppe grasses and tusacs such as the word, coirón y adesmias like the Adesmia campestri and the Adesmia volckmanni. Although the basin area of ​​the Santa Cruz River In its extra-Andean region it is favored by a mild climate thanks to the strong oceanic influence, this is the region of the so-called Pampas de Dianatowards the Andean foothills and foothills, humidity is also important, to the extent of favoring the existence of forests, corresponding to the cold Magellanic forest of fagaceae and conifers (lenga, cohiue, ñiré, canelo, mañiú, fir the latter, allochthonous), although due to the altitudes, the humid mountain range, with an average annual rainfall of 800 mm, is cold almost all year round.

Weather in Patagonia

He Patagonian climate It is located in the moderate type, with four well-defined seasons, with short springs and autumns and long winter, and great amplitude between winter and summer temperatures.
