Cold air intake will cause a weekend with showers and temperatures of 12°C

Uruguay is bracing for a significant shift in weather as cold air is set to move in this weekend, bringing isolated showers and a noticeable drop in temperatures. The transition to the Southern Hemisphere's winter will become more pronounced with a generalized thermal descent starting Saturday.

Meteorologist Mario Bidegain indicated that while temperatures remain stable for the rest of the week, Saturday and Sunday will see the arrival of a cold air mass. The coldest morning is anticipated for Sunday, with maximum temperatures expected to reach only 12°C. Guillermo Ramis, another specialist, described the weekend as "complicated" meteorologically due to a cold front passing on Saturday afternoon. He noted that maximum and minimum temperatures will fluctuate constantly throughout the week.

Atmospheric instability will lead to precipitation starting in the coming hours. Bidegain mentioned the possibility of weak showers between Thursday and Friday, with the chance extending into Saturday morning. Ramis predicted a "cloudy Saturday with showers and rain towards the late afternoon and night," a situation expected to persist into Sunday morning, with minimums around 7°C.

A temporary improvement is forecast for Sunday afternoon and Monday, with sunny and clear skies. However, this winter pattern is expected to break definitively starting next Tuesday, when temperatures will begin a gradual ascent across the entire country.
