is one of the wealthiest countries of South America. It is the breadbasket of South America. Argentina is in a temperate zone for the most part and has four seasons. It is often compared to the United States because of its abundance of natural resources. The nickname breadbasket comes, of course, from the fact that they are one of the largest exporters of agricultural products and especially wheat. || =Climate= Argentina's elongated geography ensures that the country has a diverse climate. The north is subtropical with rain throughout the year and is best visited between May and September when the heat and humidity is less oppressive. The south has a sub-arctic climate and is best visited in the summer (December to February). The central area is temperate, but can be hot and humid during summer and cool in winter. Buenos Aires has a temperate climate with average temperatures ranging from 94°F (35°C) in January to 50°F (10°C) in July. The heaviest rain falls during the winter months, though rain can be expected at any time of year. Many locals leave Buenos Aires during the hot summer months (December, January and February) and head for the coastal resorts. The best time to visit the city is during spring (September, October and November) or autumn (March, April and May).
