 The seasons in Argentina are exactly opposite of the seasons in the U.S. Winter here is summer there and vice versa. Cordoba is a semi arid environment with primarily mild, almost perfect weather, however it can be cool in the fall, winter, and early spring, and it does rain at times. A good polar fleece or a light jacket is always a good thing to have with you and a rain jacket, although seldom used, should be brought.
