Paraguay Weather

Since elevations do not exceed 600m (1968ft) in Paraguay, temperatures are almost uniformly hot in summer - the east of the country has the added bonus of humidity. Average highs hover around 35°C (95°F), with daily temperatures ranging between 25°C and 43°C (77°F to 109°F).

The mercury has been known to drop to freezing in winter due to southern polar air - average lows sit around 6°C (42°F). That said, the average high in July, the coldest month, is a balmy 22°C (71°F).

Rainfall is moderate throughout the year with the winter months usually being a bit drier. Conditions are wetter in the east where rainfall averages an abundant 2000mm (79in) a year, declining to about 1500mm (59in) near Asunción. In southern Paraguay, rainfall is distributed fairly evenly throughout the year.
