Practical weather notes for Santiago

Santiago sits in a valley between the Andes and a coastal mountain range, which traps heat in summer and can also trap smog and cool air in winter. The nearby mountains are close enough to see clearly on a clear day, and they take much of the credit for the city's dry climate.

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.
