Compare the original forecasts for the places and hours on your itinerary. Recheck them before departure and use current park information for trail access.

Wind and gusts

Read the sustained wind and gust rows together. The supplied widgets use both km/h and mph; check their labels before comparing locations. A single wind reading cannot establish that a route is suitable.

Cloud and visibility

Look at the cloud layers, then compare the surrounding area on meteoblue. A cloud percentage is not a promise of clear or obscured views at Base Torres or another viewpoint.

Temperature and precipitation

Check temperature, precipitation and freezing-level information together. Check the displayed units; the supplied widgets do not all use the same temperature units.

Check the forecast and current park information. Weather widgets do not confirm open trails, campsite access or boat departures. Read the park’s current visitor recommendations and check arrangements with your accommodation or operator.

For other destinations on your trip, use our Patagonia weather guide to find the relevant local forecast.

Questions before you go

Torres del Paine weather questions

Is it still worth hiking Base Torres if the forecast is cloudy?

Cloud forecasts do not guarantee what you will see at the viewpoint. Compare the cloud, gust and precipitation information for your planned hours, then check current access and local advice before deciding.

What is the best website or app to check the weather in Torres del Paine?

This page brings together the original Windguru location forecasts and the meteoblue map. Use them together to compare your route and the surrounding area, and check the update times and units in each provider interface.

Should we hike Base Torres if it is very windy or raining?

A forecast alone cannot answer that for your route and group. Check current park instructions and conditions with rangers or your guide. An open trail or a lower forecast wind speed is not a guarantee that the hike is appropriate.

What will the weather be like during my trip?

Use the forecasts above for the dates currently displayed by the providers, and recheck as your trip approaches. For dates beyond that window, seasonal information cannot predict the weather on a particular day.

Can we camp if cold, snow or strong wind is forecast?

Check current campsite access and requirements with the park and your accommodation provider. Discuss your equipment and itinerary with your guide or the relevant operator; the weather widget cannot confirm whether a camping plan is suitable.

What alternatives are there if the weather looks poor for several days?

Review your itinerary and current park information before choosing another route or activity. A short walk, boat excursion or horseback outing is not automatically suitable during bad weather. Check departures and conditions directly with the operator.

How should I prepare for sudden changes in the weather?

Review the park’s current visitor recommendations, take suitable layers and rain protection, and confirm the equipment needed for your itinerary. Recheck the forecast and access information before setting out.
