Buenos Aires in the summer

Buenos Aires in the summer is very hot. The summer heat begins in November or December, and the temperatures in the months of January and February often reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity on top of the heat turns Buenos Aires into an oven. Lots of people manage to get away from the hot city to popular resorts like Mar del Plata, Necochea, Miramar and Pinamar. Long distance busses are usually full and trains to these destinations are sold out weeks in advance. Short term rental prices go way up and eating a simple restaurant meal can be prohibitive.
