Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Climate of Buenos Aires. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Happy to take this, will post all my comments soon. Sainsf <^>Feel at home 07:14, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comprehensive, interesting article. Here are my comments:

Lead

  • It would be good to add "Argentina" in the first line.
  • 4 distinct seasons "four" would be better, I think.
  • What is "the central observatory"?
  • "frontal systems", "insolation", "low pressure", "pressure gradient" will need a link or an explanation.
  • causing hot and cold days to be rare As far as I understand maritime influence, I think you mean "too" hot and "too" cold days are rare, that is, extreme temperatures are rare. If you think it is proper to reword this, then please do so here as well as in the main article.

General climatology

  • Link Köppen climate classification, Atlantic Ocean, South Atlantic High, frontal system and air mass (may be explained), Pampas, El Niño, La Niña
  • I think it would be better to explain the geographical setting and maritime influence; the first para can be rephrased a bit like this (I have included some CE in this): ... Due to the maritime influences of the adjoining Atlantic Ocean, its climate is temperate, and hot and cold days are rare. Thus the cold air coming directly from the south (moderated by the maritime influence) is warmer than the southwestern winds (which are not moderated by it).
  •  Done I would agree too. The addition of the extra information helps to relate the maritime influences more better. I changed it to reflect this. The second sentence "Thus the cold air..." was modified by me to "Thus, cold air coming directly from the south are moderated by the Atlantic Ocean and warmer than winds from the southwest (which are not moderated by it)". I think that this explains the causal mechanism behind how come the air is more warmer if it comes from the south than from the southwest. It also relates to the role of the maritime influence in moderating cold temperatures. Ssbbplayer (talk) 18:45, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • it produces storms that are generally located north of the city although it produces strong winds from the south or southeast that can occasionally lead to the swelling of the Río de la Plata, which can flood coastal areas Why is "although" used? What contrast does it denote?
  • I have checked the source. There was a misinterpretation that I did not catch. If you change the language of the source to the English version and go to page 2, this is where the information is from. According to that source, it says "In autumn and summer, it (the South Atlantic High) produces cyclogenesis generally in the north of Buenos Aires but can affect the La Plata River area creating intense winds from the S-SE that occasionally cause swelling of the river level and flooding in the waterfront area." What the source is trying to say is that the South Atlantic High produces cyclogenesis And produce strong winds that may cause swelling of the river and lead to floods in the area. After reviewing the source, it should not be although and I have edited this to clarify it. Ssbbplayer (talk) 16:12, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Say "sudestada" or "Sudestada".
  • What does "polar maritime" mean?
  • Polar maritime refers to a cool (polar as arctic is the very cold air mass while tropical is warm/hot), moist (maritime is moist, if it was continental, it is dry). I changed it and add a source that is relevant to Argentina (most air mass descriptions focus on USA or UK). A definition for air masses is at this source by the US National Weather Service. Ssbbplayer (talk) 16:34, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add a note on nortes.
  • Because the sudestada brings the highest wind speeds, when combined with the astronomical tides What are you combining with the astronomical tides, the sudestada or the wind speeds?
  • Its geomorphic and topography You mean "geomorphology"?
  • more low lying and are poor Poor in what way, in infrastructure or economy?
  • The urban heat island influences the climate of the city with the city being warmer than suburban and rural areas How does the urban heat island influence the climate? I am not sure if the second part of the sentence, after "while", is describing the influence. If you clarify I can reword it for better.
  • It influences the climate of the city by making it warmer overall. For the second sentence, it is used to illustrate how large is the difference in mean temperatures in the city proper than in suburban and rural areas owing to the urban heat island effect. Ssbbplayer (talk) 18:54, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alright, I rephrased this [2].
  • The average heat island is smaller than in winter "in summer than in winter"?
  • This varies by time; its influence during the day is the strongest in July than in January When you say "by time", it implies as if the effect changes from hour to hour in a day. I think you mean "by season".
  •  Done Changed it to "by season". This is what the statement is illustrating. It illustrates how the urban heat island is affected by season and where the strongest impact lies within each season, not the hour by hour aspect. In this case, you are right.

Spring

  • Spring and season look too common to be linked
  • the highest temperature recorded in spring is 36.8 °C (98.2 °F) When was this recorded?
  • which is defined when there are 3 consecutive days in which the minimum and maximum temperature exceed 22.0 °C (71.6 °F) and 32.3 °C (90.1 °F) respectively I think this explains "heat wave", but is really wordy. The link alone will do.
  • I checked the link for heat wave. If one reads the definitions, it does not have a worldwide view and is biased towards developed countries. As well, the National Weather Service uses the 90th percentile temperatures with respect to the normal as the threshold which is how they came up with those numbers (though adding this in may be confusing to many readers). I removed this and put it as a note given the varying definitions of a heat wave among different countries. Ssbbplayer (talk) 16:55, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Summer

  • Summer and traffic jam look too common to be linked
  • It is also the season with the most clear days, the least foggiest and the one with the most stormy days Appears confusing
  • After debating over this statement for a while. I think removing is better. This is because none of this statement or a similar variant of it appeared in the other seasons. I have read it too and it did not really flow well. As such, the statement is removed with this edit. Ssbbplayer (talk) 16:59, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • such as the December 2013 heat wave What disturbances happened during this heat wave?
  • There was an increase in energy demand due to the heat wave. This lead to energy shortages which lead to power cuts, protests over these cuts and long traffic jams caused by the power cuts. Ssbbplayer (talk) 17:08, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • due to the 2 contrasting air masses "two"
  • and are followed by the passage of the cold, dry Pampero wind...tornadoes are relatively weak and rarely cause deaths Some information is repeated in this portion, and this could be shortened.

Winter

  • Winter and traffic jam look too common to be linked
  • Snow occasionally occurs in the surrounding areas "Snowfall"?
  •  Done Snowfall is the most correct term since it is extremely rare that snow would accumulate. Snowfall itself is rare. Also, I changed snow in the second part of that same sentence to snowfall too. Ssbbplayer (talk) 17:24, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Duplink: frontal system
  • Brazil may be linked.
  • which occurs on August 30 "around" August 30, because the storm can occur slightly before or slightly after this date.

Extremes

The above points addressed, I would be happy to promote this article. Good luck! Sainsf <^>Feel at home 04:49, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
