Here are some key points to consider: Buenos Aires: Buenos Aires experiences a temperate humid climate, with hot and rainy summers and mild winters. The best time to visit Buenos Aires for good weather is during spring (September to November) and fall (March to June), when you can expect lots of sunshine and warm days. The shoulder seasons of April to June (fall) and September to November (spring) offer mild temperatures, fewer crowds, and colorful foliage. January and February are the peak summer months in Buenos Aires, with high temperatures and increased tourism. Hotel rates and crowds tend to be higher during this time.

The best time to visit Patagonia, including El Calafate and El Chalten, is during the warmer summer months from December to February. During the peak season, you can expect longer daylight hours and the opportunity to engage in various activities like hiking, glacier trekking, mountain biking, and white water rafting. It's important to note that even during the summer, it can still be quite chilly in the southern regions of Patagonia, so be prepared for cooler temperatures as you go farther south. To summarize, the best time to visit Buenos Aires is during the spring (September to November) and fall (March to June) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.
