Climate and Natural Hazards
The Rosario area has a Pampean temperate climate. There is a hot season from November to March (with temperature extremes between 18 and 32 ºC), and a cold season between June and mid-August (between 5 and 16 ºC). Summer is rainier than winter. Local residents often complain about high levels of humidity throughout the year.
The last instance of snow was in the winter of 1973, being clearly an exceptional phenomenon (hail is not, though it is also quite rare).
Parts of the city are subject to flooding, but large events have historically been exceptional. The possibility of serious earthquakes is also remote, and other hazards such as hurricanes and volcanic eruptions are virtually impossible.

Famous quotes containing the words climate and/or natural:
“The climate of Ohio is perfect, considered as the home of an ideal republican people. Climate has much to do with national character.... A climate which permits labor out-of-doors every month in the year and which requires industry to secure comfort—to provide food, shelter, clothing, fuel, etc.—is the very climate which secures the highest civilization.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Modern morality and manners suppress all natural instincts, keep people ignorant of the facts of nature and make them fighting drunk on bogey tales.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
