Torres del Paine and Cerro FitzRoy: High temperatures in summer reach as high as 75°F and as low as 35°F; the average temperature is around 52°F. The weather switches dramatically and unpredictably. Rain and snow is always a possibility; also, the winds are always blowing, sometimes with surprising strength.
The weather in Patagonia can change drastically very quickly. For that reason, all trekkers should carry a daypack with a waterproof/windproof layer or shell; a light fleece or sweater; and hat. Also, be sure to layer adequately so you can pare down your layers when necessary.

In summer, the average daytime temperature is is 64°F and 50°F at night. The average winter temperature (July/August) is 34°F.
