Summer is on average from December through March, this is the warmest season of the year, averaging highs in the upper 20ºC range. January tends to get the hottest with daily averages of 25ºC for the majority of the month, despite the fact that towards the end of March, as the season comes to an end, temperatures will begin to drop somewhat and rain is frequent. Summer is the chief tourist season as in very rarely intolerably hot and weather conditions permit the pursuit of both indoor and outdoor activities.

The winter season begins in June and lasts until August, during which time temperatures will drop, but not extremely, the temperatures very rarely drop below freezing except for in high mountainous areas. It is possible to enjoy a holiday in Uruguay during this season, given you pack some warm outdoor clothing.
