Pampero
The Pampero is an often stormy southwest wind in the Argentine pampas . It brings cold, dry air from Patagonia to the pampas, to Buenos Aires and to Paraguay and Uruguay . The Pampero is often accompanied by considerable rainfall and temperature drops.
The Pampero, whose name derives from its origin in the area of the pampas , occurs on the back of the southern hemisphere mid-latitude lows mainly from October to January. It corresponds to a north-west weather situation in Europe.
The wind is the namesake for the Pampero Pass in Antarctica
