  • Uruguay is experiencing a period of persistent bad weather, including low temperatures, cloudiness, and intermittent rain.
  • The forecast indicates this unstable atmospheric condition will continue for the next few days, with minimal improvement expected soon.
  • Meteorologists predict temperatures will remain cool, with some sunshine appearing later in the week, but new showers are not ruled out.

Residents of Uruguay are bracing for continued inclement weather, with forecasts predicting a prolonged spell of low temperatures, persistent cloudiness, and scattered rain.

The Institute of Meteorology (Inumet) reports that Montevideo and its surrounding metropolitan area will experience minimum temperatures around 10ยฐC and maximums of 14ยฐC. The skies are expected to be mostly cloudy to overcast, accompanied by fog and potential isolated showers. Winds will be from the southeast.

Looking ahead, the forecast for Tuesday suggests similar conditions, with temperatures ranging from 10ยฐC to 14ยฐC and slightly milder winds. By Wednesday, temperatures are expected to drop slightly between 10ยฐC and 13ยฐC, with gusts reaching up to 60 kilometers per hour. The latter half of the week, Thursday and Friday, will see temperatures ranging from 7ยฐC to 15ยฐC, though cloud cover may increase, and new showers are possible.

Meteorologist Mario Bidegain noted on his X account that while conditions might improve slightly from Monday after the weekend's heavy rains and storms, light drizzles are still anticipated until Tuesday. He indicated that minimum temperatures would hover between 9ยฐC and 11ยฐC, with maximums between 12ยฐC and 13ยฐC until at least Thursday. However, some sunshine is expected from Wednesday onwards.

Fellow meteorologist Guillermo Ramis commented on Informativo Sarandรญ (AM 690) that the week's temperatures, while slightly low, are seasonal. He confirmed the possibility of showers on Tuesday and Friday, with other days remaining cloudy or overcast. This pattern stands in contrast to the recent warmer spell Uruguay experienced.
