He type of weather that there is in a certain region is determined by various factors among which the altitude, the latitude, the orientation of the relief, the distance to the sea and the sea currents and gives guidelines to the so-called “weather weather” which in turn is based on other elements such as the temperature, pressure, wind, humidity and precipitation to delineate atmospheric conditions in a short-term locality.

To classify the climate, the system developed by Wladimir Köppen is generally used, although there is also the Thornthwaite system, the latter which also takes into account biological diversity and the effects of climate change on it. Others, such as Bergeron and Spacial Synoptic, are interested in the origin of the air masses that define the climate of a region.

Due to climate change, currently the planet is in a process of redistribution in which any change, however small, in the average annual temperature leads to changes in habitats and their conditions.

In this context, here we leave you the weather forecast for Montevideo.

During the day temperature will reach a maximum of 25 degrees, rain forecast It will be 0%, with 0% cloudiness, while wind gusts will be 35 kilometers per hour.

As for ultraviolet rays, they should reach a level of up to 9.

Montevideo It has a humid subtropical climate with a average annual temperature of 16.7 degreesbeing relatively temperate for most of the year.

Due to its mid-latitude location, the seasons are well defined, mainly winter (June to August) and summer (December to February), although it is generally windy most of the way. year because it is a coastal city.

In winter it can happen precipitation and mist, as well as a drop in temperature to zero degrees and, although snowfall is non-existent, a warm winter with temperatures that sometimes rise to 20 degrees is not. Spring and autumn are mild.

On the other hand, during the summer, heat waves are common with highs around 35 degrees and lows of 20 degrees. It is important to mention that the population must pay particular attention to UV rays, as they are generally more intense than in the rest of the planet due to the geographical location of the country.

Uruguay It is a country with a temperate-humid climate, with hot summers and cool winters which, due to its geographical location and its proximity to the ocean, also presents a double rainy season between spring-summer and autumn.

The country has an average temperature of 17 degrees per year, however, there is a very marked difference in their territory: the northwest region where Artigas, Salto and Rivera are located is warmer with an average of 18 degrees; while the southeast, where Montevideo, Maldonado, Rocha and Lavalleja are located, is cooler, with an average of 16 degrees.

Due to the strong winds that occur in the country, the summers are less extreme and the winter is cooler, which also causes cold spells that particularly affect the north and south of the center. Only in a month up to 25 jellies can be saved.

Just on January 15, 2022, the country recorded a new record for highest temperature in its history, when the Institute of Meteorology of Uruguay (Inumet) indicated that the maximum in Florida had reached 44 degrees, equaling the mark of January 20, 1943. On the contrary, the coldest was that of Mercedes on the 29 January. July 2007 with -7.6 degrees.

Scientists warn that due to the effects of climate change, Uruguay could experience an increase in temperature of up to three degrees in the year 2100as well as an increase in precipitation.
