| Sumario: | The diurnal and seasonal patterns of the dry and wet bulb temperatures over Argentina are studied. The wet bulb temperature frequency distributions have negative skewness over all the country. The higher values are in the lower latitude stations, which are under a subtropical regime. The dry bulb temperature frequency distributions change their skewness from north (negative values) to south, and the highest positive value occurs at the most southerly station, which is under a middle latitude regime. Three stations in the Buenos Aires area are analysed to study the effects of the river and the city on temperature. The effects of the city and the river on the dry bulb temperature and the wet bulb temperature depend on the wind direction and the time of day. The effect of the river also depends on the month. These effects are also present in the anomalies. If it is necessary to represent extreme climatic or synoptic conditions over a region then the city stations are more appropriate than coastal ones.
