Humidity comfort
Share of days at each humidity comfort level, based on the dew point — the measure that tracks how muggy it actually feels.
Wind
Average wind speed through the year, banded into plain-language speed zones so a number reads as 'breezy' or 'calm' without knowing the scale.
This is the average sustained wind speed at the standard 10 metres above open ground — the steady flow a weather station reports, not the sharper gusts that come and go, which can run half again as fast. It's the number that says whether a place is generally breezy or calm.
Wind in Buenos Aires is steady company: average speeds sit near 16 km/h — light breeze — in every month of the year, with no meaningful windy or calm season.

Best time to visit Argentina
A 0–10 score combining daytime comfort, chance of rain and cloud cover — the sweet spot runs early January to mid May.
Solar energy
Average daily shortwave solar energy reaching the ground, banded into brightness zones so the number means something at a glance.
Solar energy is how much sunlight actually reaches the ground each day, measured in kilowatt-hours per square metre (kWh/m²) — the combined effect of how long the sun is up, how high it climbs, and how much cloud gets in the way. It's the raw fuel a solar panel has to work with: for scale, 1 kWh/m² a day is dim and wintry, while 7+ is desert-bright.
Buenos Aires receives about 4.8 kWh/m² a day of solar energy on average — bright — with a clear seasonal swing between 2.2 and 7.4 kWh/m².
The brighter stretch of the year lasts 5.9 months, from around Sep 23 to Mar 21. The brightest month is December, averaging about 7.4 kWh/m² (intense).
The dimmest month is June, down near 2.2 kWh/m² — roughly 70% less than the December peak.
