08Editor's notes

What the numbers don't tell you

July is the coldest month, with afternoons around 15 °C and nights near 7 °C, though frosts are rare and sunny afternoons feel mild. Winter school holidays bring families to the museums and the Planetarium, Independence Day on 9 July is a holiday with ceremonies on Avenida de Mayo, and the Rural Exhibition in Palermo in the last week is a national institution with livestock, gauchos and asado. Pack layers rather than heavy winter gear.

Rain falls on about seven days. The Colón's July programme and the winter theatre season fill the evenings. The Tango World Cup preliminaries begin in late July. Daylight grows slowly past ten hours. For the dry, cool month with the Tango Festival and World Cup, see August.
