Average weather, temperature, rainfall, sunshine hours

The climate of Paysandú is
subtropical (according to the Köppen classification: humid subtropical climate - Cfa), with mild, fairly dry winters (from June to August) and hot, rainy summers (from December to March). In summer, the rains often occur in the form of a thunderstorm.
The city is located in the west of Uruguay, at 32 degrees south latitude, on the border with Argentina and on the banks of the Uruguay River. On the other side of the river is the city of Colón, and further south, Concepción del Uruguay.
During the day it can get
hot all year round, in fact the heat records are around 30 °C (86 °F) even in winter. Instead, from November to March, in summer, there can be heat waves, in which the temperature reaches or exceeds 38/40 °C (100/104 °F). But the Pampero, the south wind, is able to interrupt the hot and sultry periods, bringing pleasant (and sometimes very cool) weather for two or three days.
In winter, there can be
cold waves from the south, during which the temperature can drop to the freezing point or a little below at night, and can remain around 8/10 °C (46/50 °F) during the day. Also, fog can sometimes form.
Best Time
It is difficult to find the best time to visit Paysandú, also because there can be sudden changes in temperature. Anyway, you can choose the periods
from mid-April to mid-May and the month of
October, two periods in which both temperature and rainfall are halfway between winter and summer.
Winter is a mild and relatively dry season, but it can sometimes get cold, especially at night.
In spring, sometimes starting from mid-August, it can get very hot. Summer is the sunniest season, but it is hot and muggy, and thunderstorms can break out.
