Climatic map of the Province of San Luis, Argentina.
In general, the climate is dry continental with an average annual temperature of 17 °C, average winter of 8 °C and summer of 24 °C. Rains decrease from east to west and occur mainly in summer, between the months of October and March. In winter they are almost nil and can precipitate in the form of snow at any altitude but especially in the mountains above 1000 meters above sea level.
In the mountain area the biome is arid of mountain ranges and fields, although in the eastern slopes of the mountains the temperate mountain biome develops, more humid than the previous one, since the foothills of the mountain range behaves as a front of condensation for the wind of the Atlantic.
