The climate of Paraguay is predominantly sub-tropical in nature. The country experiences a distinct rainy season during its summer months, which spans from October to April.In the Asunción region, the average annual rainfall is approximately 1000 mm. Meanwhile, the forested eastern regions receive about 1500 mm of rainfall annually, and the Chaco region gets around 800 mm. The variance in rainfall is influenced by the country's distance from the sea; rainfall increases towards the east and diminishes in the western areas.
The Chaco region specifically has a tropical climate characterized by hot summers and pleasantly warm winters. Summer, which stretches from December to March, sees average monthly temperatures ranging between 30°C and 33°C. However, in some northern parts of Paraguay, temperatures can soar up to 38°C. Winters, on the other hand, are milder and drier, with temperatures hovering between 13°C and 21°C.
Considering the combination of intense heat and heavy rainfall during the summer months, the most ideal time to visit Paraguay would be during the winter, particularly between May and September.
