What is the climate in Chile South America?

Answer 1

The climate of Chile is similar to the North America's West Coast from deserts thru tundra, which comprises a wide range of weather conditions across a large geographic scale, extending across 38 degrees in latitude, making generalisations difficult.

Chile within its borders hosts at least seven major climatic subtypes, ranging from desert in the north, to alpine tundra and glaciers in the east and south east, cold oceanic rainforest in the south and Mediterranean climate in the fine wine-lands of Santiago and central Chile, which is amazingly similar to the Central Valley of California!

Seasons in Southern Hemisphere are the opposite than the US. So you can enjoy the warm Chilean sunshine during your US winter. And Skiing during your US Summer vacations. How about the springtime during the US foliage or vice-versa. That's cool!

Oh the only sunny area in South America's stormy summer is Central Chile. Keep it in mind between December and March!

If you are looking for the tropics? sorry, no tropical areas in Chile but Easter Island is in Chilean Polinesia, about 3,000miles from the mainland.
