Current Weather in South America

South America's weather is shaped by the Andes Mountains, the Amazon Rainforest, and its position straddling the equator. The climate ranges from the world's driest desert, the Atacama, to the immense humidity of the Amazon. This page features the current weather in major cities like São Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Bogotá. You'll notice the high-altitude coolness of Andean cities compared to the tropical heat of those at sea level, illustrating the continent's dramatic geographical and climatic diversity.
