The airport period is shorter than the publication title
SMN identifies the station as El Bolsón Aero, WIGOS 0-20000-0-87800, at 337 meters elevation. Its table uses 1995 to 2020. Keep that period with the figures rather than substituting the national publication's 1991 to 2020 title.1
The tables report an annual mean temperature of 10.1°C (50.2°F), annual precipitation of 905.6 mm and 94.5 days with at least 1 mm. Annual rainfall uses 23 valid years. The reported annual figures should not be replaced by a sum of rounded monthly values.1
