WEATHER: The north of the country lies within the Atacama coastal desert, one of the driest areas in the world, but surprisingly this area experiences plenty of mist and cloud which keeps the temperature from becoming too extreme. The Andes run along Chile's eastern border. In the north the climate is typical of mountain areas with thin air, light rainfall and permanent snow and ice on the highest peaks, whilst in the southern Andes, rain and snowfall is heavier and can occur at much lower altitudes. Central lowland areas of Chile have warm, dry summers (Nov-Mar) and mild, wet winters which are sometimes affected by frost and snow. The southern part of Chile has a changeable cool, wet climate. Summers are cool and cloudy and winters, particularly in the deep south, can be very cold.
