The climate in Mendoza is mild with little rain and a clear sky most of the year.
The climate is temperate continental. Precipitation, in general, is scarce. Snowfall in the mountain range is eagerly awaited since it increases the flow of rivers and irrigation favor. The rainy season is the summer, with some spectacular storms, short but intense, sometimes accompanied by hail. The heavy winter frost can also occur in spring and autumn.
The Zonda, a hot wind blowing from the west, is characteristic of Mendoza. It is dry and dusty and causes discomfort in the population. However, it is an augury of snow and therefore a good amount of water at the time of thaw.
