Uruguay Weather Radar

Uruguay climate

Uruguay has a temperate maritime climate with four distinct seasons. Montevideo experiences warm summers averaging 22°C to 28°C and cool winters around 7°C to 14°C. The country's gentle rolling terrain means weather systems move across with little topographic interruption.

Rainfall is relatively evenly distributed throughout the year, averaging 1,000 to 1,400 mm annually. The pampero, a strong cold wind from the southwest, can arrive suddenly and cause sharp temperature drops.

Uruguay's coastal areas experience a moderating oceanic influence. The Río de la Plata estuary can produce dangerous sudestadas — persistent southeast winds that drive storm surge and coastal flooding in Montevideo.
