As reported by the Uruguayan Institute of Meteorology (Inumet), Thursday, May 21, 2026, promises a distinctly chilly day across the nation. Residents can expect temperatures to hover between a low of 1°C and a high of 15°C, signaling the firm grip of late autumn weather.

The forecast paints a picture of predominantly cloudy skies, particularly in the morning, often accompanied by fog and frost, especially in the northwestern and central-south regions.
