Pampero is a strong, cold wind that typically originates from the southwest and is associated with the passage of cold fronts over the Pampas region of Argentina and Uruguay. It is known for its sudden onset and can bring dramatic drops in temperature as well as gusty conditions. The Pampero is particularly notable in the southern hemisphere's summer months, often occurring during thunderstorms, and can reach high speeds that can be disruptive or even damaging.
