In Chile, climates of all kinds are felt, from very cold to very hot, due to its geographical location and its particular territorial extension.

In the north of the country, from the region of Arica and Parinacota to Valparaíso, three types of climate stand out: tundra and desert in its cold and warm variants.

The tundra is characterized by a dry and always cold climate that occurs throughout the eastern part of the northern part of Chile, on the border with Bolivia and Argentina.

The hot desert is the one that predominates in most of the northern part of the Chilean country, it is characterized by having mild winters with nights that reach zero degrees Celsius, with very hot summers and little rainfall.

While the cold desert is felt in the northern coastal regions of the Chilean country, where the winters are very cold and the summers are hot, here too the rainfall is very scarce.

In the center of the country, from the southern part of Valparaíso to Bío Bío, the two main climates are the cold semi-arid, the Mediterranean, and the Mediterranean with cool summers.

The cold semi-arid appears in the most northwestern region of the central part of Chile, where winters are very cold, summers are warm or temperate, and rainfall is scarce.

The Mediterranean climate is the most abundant in central Chile and is characterized by mild winters, hot summers and a marked rainy season.

For its part, the Mediterranean with cool summers appears in the most central area of ​​the country, the only difference with the previous climate is that its summers are cool, as its name says.

In the southern part of the Chilean country, from Araucanía to Magallanes, the predominant climates are tundra, cold semiarid, and oceanic.

The oceanic climate is the main climate in the southern part, where winters are cold and summers are cool, with rain practically all year round.
