Pamperos

The Pamperos gain their name from the South American Pampas, the high central plateau that stretches from the Atlantic to the Andes.

These cold polar winds blow from the southwest or south across the pampas of  Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. In winter, between May and August, they cause rapid and marked drops in temperature.
