The climate in Chile



Chile is a very long country, with 4300 km approximate in mainland, with a lot of climates depending of the zone. The north of Chile is desert and dry in most of the places, central of Chile has a mediterranean (it is mild) climate and the south of Chile is temperate oceanic.

The south of Chile is harsh in winter but no so extreme than places like the north of Canada. On the other hand, the north of Chile is always sunny, with good temperatures in the day but very cold in the night (the
desert part). The central of Chile has temperatures in correlation with the season but never extreme for that reason is the best climate with the beginning of the north (450 to 600 km in the north of Santiago).


The seasons are very marked, in winter is cold in most of the country, in the summer is the opposite and in fall and spring is in between of the last two. If I have to chose a season I will say than summer is the best because is hot but not annoying.

Chile has not been blessed with natural disasters, we have many problems specialy with earthquakes. However we are lucky because with don't have climate disasters more than a few but no so often.
