This town is located in the middle of northern Patagonia, right in the steppe. Consequently, the climate is cold semi-arid (BSk, according to the Köppen climate classification) and it can be quite extreme: temperatures can range from well above 35 °C (95 °F) on the hottest summer days (but with cold, desert nights at around 10 °C or 50 °F) to lows that might reach −35 °C (−31 °F). Usually, summer days average 24 °C (75 °F) and nights 10 °C (50 °F), whereas winter days average 4 °C (40 °F) and nights, −3 °C (27 °F). Snow is relatively common and the weather is generally windy.
