    Climate in Sud America

    Long-term normals 1991–2020 per climate zone — not a point forecast.

    The Amazon basin is permanently warm and wet, the Andes create cold high-altitude climates at every latitude, and the far south turns cool and windy — seasons are reversed compared with Europe.
