It's winter down south

How Porteños dress
when the temperature
hits the 30s

i usually follow the weather forecasts and temperatures in buenos aires whether or not i happen to be in residence there... as summer comes here to the high desert and the daily average high temperature climbs toward the 90s, i've noticed that buenos aires has experienced some unusually cold nights of late... the average low nighttime temperature during the winter there is usually in the low 40s, occasionally hitting the upper 30s... during the day, it's customarily in the 50s or low 60s... the past few days or so, i've noticed it getting down to 34-35 at night and thought of all the people i know there who would be complaining about how miserably cold it's been... little did i know, and it isn't even winter yet...

Power was rationed in parts of the Argentine capital and four people died from exposure as autumn temperatures dipped below freezing across a wide swath of Argentina on Tuesday morning.

needless to say, most of the buildings there aren't constructed for that kind of temperature... over in bariloche, however, where winter is winter, they build accordingly...
