Almost all of Uruguay has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa according to the Köppen climate classification[1][2][3]). It is fairly uniform nationwide, since the country is located entirely within the temperate zone. Seasonal variations do exist, but extremes in temperature are rare. As would be expected by its abundance of water, high humidity and fog are common. The absence of mountains and other weather barriers makes all locations vulnerable to high winds and rapid changes in weather as fronts or storms sweep across the country.
The country could possibly get warmer and wetter with climate change, with some parts of the country becoming more tropical, with more extreme rain events. But that is unlikely. [citation needed]
