Resistencia () is the capital and largest city of the province of Chaco, in northeastern Argentina. At the 2001 census, the population of the city proper was 274,490 inhabitants. It is the anchor of a rather larger metropolitan area, Greater Resistencia, which comprises three more municipalities and has a 2008 population estimate of 377,000. This conurbation is the largest in the province, and the eleventh most populous in the country. It is sited along the Negro River, a tributary of the much larger Paraná river, opposite the city of Corrientes, Corrientes Province. The area was originally inhabited by Guaycuru aboriginals, such as the Tobas. Their resistance to evangelisation postponed substantial European settlement until the late 19th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.chaco.gov.ar/Cultura/chaco/tema007.htm )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Altamirano - Dellamea de Prieto - Sbardella ) 〕 Not until 1865 was a proper settlement established, and on January 27, 1878, Resistencia was formally established as the territorial capital. The national government supported immigration, and in 1878 the first Italian immigrants arrived. The first City Council was made up entirely of members originating from that country. == Climate == Resistencia is one of the warmest cities in Argentina, and is known for its extremely hot, humid summer weather with frequent lightning. The climate is humid subtropical (Köppen climate classification ''Cfa''), with a cooler, dryer season and a long, humid summer. Fall and spring are often marked by sudden transitions from summer weather patterns to winter weather patterns. During the summer, temperatures attain highs of on a daily basis, and occasionally up to . The record temperature is on November 2, 2009.〔 Nights are warm and sticky, between , and afternoon thunderstorms are common. The transition to fall is slow: March's temperatures are very similar to midsummer, and April is still warm with an average high of and a low of , and rainfall is very abundant: during that month.〔 The dry, cool season starts in May and lasts until September. During its peak in June and July, the average high is and the average low is , with rainfall below in a month. These averages reflect the fact that there are two distinct weather patterns that alternate in the winter: the northerly, tropical pattern, and the southerly pattern of the Pampas: thus, there are periods of very warm, dry weather () with warm nights () followed by strong southerly winds, often accompanied with drizzle and temperatures that hover around for days at a time (creating a surprisingly cold feeling), followed by dry air and blue skies and cold nights () and pleasant, cool days between ). Light frost occurs under very calm conditions with cold air in place; usually measured temperatures will hover between but frost will cover the ground. On occasion, however, under very cold weather patterns, measured temperatures reach , with a record low of on June 29, 1996.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Resistencia, Chaco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
