What is the weather like in Brazil and Argentina (mainly Rio De Janeiro and Buenos aries) during July?
Im thinking of travelling there in july but would like to know how cold it gets and does the fact that its winter really affect the atmosphere, ie less people about, fewer people on the beaches!! Would it be better to wait until sept/oct to travel there?
You can ski in bariloche argentina in July.. So, beach time might be limited.. Winter vacations happen in July. Winter nights can be chilly, with the temperature dropping to around 15° C (around 70 F). Laugh if you live in a cold country, but the fact is that thermal comfort is completely relative. Wind and dampness could make you feel even colder, and the homes do not have a heating system. Cariocas like to joke saying phrases like "The winter of 97 happened on the night of June 9". But everybody keeps a good leather jacket or parka in the closet for eventualities. You may even need a hat and gloves at night, if you go to mountain resorts Off-Rio, like Mauá, Itatiaia or Penedo.

Even in the winter, if it stops raining long enough it gets hot again. Locals call this veranico, or mini-summer. They last as long as one or two weeks, and the temperature goes up to almost 30° C (around 90 F). A cold front from Argentina always comes to spoil the fun, though, sometimes bringing a cabeça d'água, or sea storm. The ressaca (rough sea) makes great photos, but play it safe and do not get too close.
