The short answer
Esquel Aero's 1991 to 2020 averages show a January mean of 15.4°C (59.7°F) and a July mean of 1.7°C (35.1°F). July's average daily low is -2.4°C (27.7°F). These are long-term airport averages, not a forecast or the temperature inside a particular home. Heating, insulation and recent winter bills deserve attention before signing a lease.
- January averages 15.4°C (59.7°F), with an average daily high of 22.0°C (71.6°F).
- July averages 1.7°C (35.1°F), with an average daily low of -2.4°C (27.7°F).
- 472.5 mm annual precipitation is SMN's published figure. The rounded monthly rows sum slightly differently.

What to inspect at a rental
- How the bedrooms, bathroom and work room are heated.
- Doors, windows, drafts and the condition of the heating equipment.
- Recent winter and summer bills for the actual home.
- Who handles equipment maintenance and repairs.
- The entrance and everyday route in the conditions you expect to use them.
Read the utility tariffs and gas questions before using a net electricity example as a full winter bill. The rental ads do not price that bill.2,

The airport's July mean is 1.7°C (35.1°F), and its average daily low is -2.4°C (27.7°F). These 1991 to 2020 averages support checking heating and winter bills, not a forecast for your arrival.
How warm is summer?
January averages 15.4°C (59.7°F), with an average daily high of 22.0°C (71.6°F) and low of 8.6°C (47.5°F). Actual days can differ from those long-term averages.
Are the table's highs and lows temperature records?
No. They are averages of daily highs and lows for the station period. They are not the hottest and coldest temperatures ever recorded.
How much precipitation does Esquel get?
SMN publishes 472.5 mm annually at Esquel Aero for 1991 to 2020. The rounded monthly values total 472.6 mm. That small difference is a rounding issue, not a changed annual figure.
Will these averages tell me my heating bill?
No. Ask for recent bills from the selected home and inspect its heating and insulation. Consumption, account category and charges matter alongside outdoor temperatures.
Can I visit Los Alerces outside summer?
National Parks describes visits year-round, but roads, trails, weather and individual services need current checks. Confirm your route and transport before leaving.
