Here too we don't call a 3/11 day spring-like don't worry (unless it's sunny and happens in winter). Spring would be a season alternating sping-like and chilly days, making not so spring-like averages. Same for autumn, which would alternate warm and autumn-like days.
One thing is to have a VERY cold winter like that. And another is to consider 3/11 SPRING. Thats not spring.
Spring is around 13/15 average low and 22/29 average high, and im talking about what is the perception of spring, not the temp i have where i live (wich are very similar actually). Maybe you dont have spring and you go straight to summer. But spring means that you have warm days and you wear a light jacket at night.
No. We definitely have a big transition season; just our winters are colder. Spring means you wear a light jacket in the day, sometimes a T-shirt on the warmer days. Winter means you have to wear a heavy coat most days and it can snow often.
So, our spring months look very different from Jan and July, so to me we have a real "spring" season, while Mar de Plata has a few months of summer and the rest is a long spring/autumn.
So, to me, March is cold enough to be more of a winter month. April can get chilly but it's often comfortable out, and definitely feels like spring. May is a warm spring month, and all the plants have come out.
Ocotber in Mar del Plata averages 7/18, wich is like the average of the coldest month of winter in Buenos Aires. 7 celsius in Mar del Plata (with that wind and humidty) feels CHILLY. And 18 celsius, with all the wind (Mar del Plata is very windy) do not get to feel warm at all. October is like a winter month.
Even november, with 10/20 is still cold. 10 celsius in mar del plata=freezing. 20 celsius in mdp: just in the border between "cool" and "warm".
I would say you dont get to feel the real hot weather in MDP until january.
(although, i wouldnt call MDP weather hot, ever)
I see the October in Mar Del Plata is a close match for here for temperature, although the rainfall is only half.
Mar Del Plata doesn't seem to be that humid in winter. I would think the wind alone (not the humidity) is the reason for the chilly feeling. During spring here the dew points drop when the wind starts blowing off the sea. It is only in the height of summer that dew points rise (and only sometimes) due to weather off the sea, and the effect is to feel warmer rather than cooler, probably my favorite weather.

Um, every place has a different version of spring. Just because those aren't spring temps to YOU, doesn't mean they can't be spring temps for everyone , remember, the northern hemisphere is not nearly as mild as the southern hemisphere.
I also would consider 11/3 spring, not winter.
And btw, I have said this many times, Fall and Spring have the same temperatures, so to say you don't have autumn seems kind of dumb to me when you say that your autumn has spring-like temperatures. Duh.
Eh? Most places in the world have springs colder than that. The majority of earth live in temperate or continental climate.
What you described as Spring in your post is summer to most people in Europe and Canada. And you don't wear any jackets of any sort when it is 15C at night.
