Practical weather notes for Santiago

Seasons in Santiago
Southern Hemisphere seasons apply: December to February is hot, dry summer, while June to August is the cooler, wetter winter, occasionally cold enough for the surrounding peaks to see snow. Spring and autumn are generally mild and considered the most pleasant for being outdoors.
Frequently asked questions
How often is the forecast updated?
The live weather data refreshes several times a day, so you're always seeing the latest forecast for Santiago.
Is the 14-day forecast reliable?
The first few days are usually the most accurate. Further ahead, the forecast mainly shows a trend rather than the exact weather at a specific hour.
What should I check before heading outside?
Look at the combination of rain, wind and feels-like temperature. A short trip can handle a passing shower, but a longer walk or bike ride benefits from a more stable stretch of weather.
