Consequentially, there are a wide variety of biomes present. Northern parts of the country, including latitudes in and below the Tropic of Capricorn, are characterized by very hot, humid summers (which result in a lot of swamp lands) with mild drier winters, and is subject to periodic droughts during the winter season. Central Argentina has hot summers with tornadoes and thunderstorms (in western Argentina producing some of the world's largest hail), and cool winters. The southern regions have warm summers and cold winters with heavy snowfall, especially in mountainous zones. Many regions have different and/or contrasting microclimates. High elevations at all latitudes experience cooler conditions. Argentina has four seasons present: winter (June–August), spring (September–November), summer (December–February) and spring (March–May).The hottest and coldest temperature extremes recorded in South America have occurred in Argentina. The highest recorded temperature that is recognized by the World Meteorological Organization is 48.9 °C (120.0 °F), which was recorded at Rivadavia, Salta, Salta Province on December 11, 1905. The lowest temperature recorded was −32.8 °C (−27.0 °F) at Sarmiento, Chubut on June 1, 1907.The Sudestada (literally “southeastern”) could be considered similar to the Noreaster, though snowfall is rarely involved. Both are associated with a deep winter low pressure system. The sudestada usually moderates cold temperatures but brings very heavy rains, rough seas, and coastal flooding. It is most common in late autumn and winter along the coasts of central Argentina and in the Río de la Plata estuary."@en }
