As a result of its enormous north-south extension and vertical topography, Chile contains nearly every imaginable
variety of climate. In the north we find the world's driest desert with great variation between daytime and nightime
temperatures. The coast enjoys a mild climate year-round, while in the Altiplano, summer temperatures average 10ºC
during the day and drop to as low as -13ºC at night.The climate of the central region is of that blessed variety known
as subtropical Mediterranean, with long, dry summers (November-March, max. temp. 30C) and short, mild, relatively
rainy winters (max. temp. 10-15ºC, min. rarely below 0ºC). South of the Biobio rainfall increases, falling more or less
steadily throughout the year, with minor variation between daytime and nighttime temperatures.
