During those very hot Paraguay summers (from December to March), using the air-con will not break the bank. Electricity is affordable in Paraguay as the country generates more than enough of its own hydro-power.
i lived in san antonio texas for more than a decade, and have been living in Paraguay for 13 years now, besides not having ocean access, Paraguay is just as hot, but more humid.
I love the fact that the roads are made of stones. This make Asuncion even more calm and charming. The cars are forced to reduce the speed. Basic only the main roads here are paved. And I hope stays like that for a long time.
Someone pointed that out a few months ago and I was surprised by the real reason behind the stone roads. Because it is a solid base, they aren't using cheap material. It does make sense!
Yes is hot. But not as hot as Miami. Miami really has no respite. Asunción is actually less humid than Miami. If you find a shade you will be ok provided you drinking water. In Miami, you won’t be ok even in the shade. In Miami you will still use the AC all year round. With the exception of perhaps a week in January or February, and that’s because for us Miamians below 70 is already “cold” for us and people talk about “cover up or you will get sick”. Paraguay Sumer are hot but they do get a break from the hot temperatures during the rest of the year. Besides, Asunción is greener than Miami. Asunción has trees in every block and the bus stops are fully covered with a generous roof. The bricks streets is also because they don’t have street drainages for the water. Hence during the raining seasons the flooding gets pretty bad. The bricks street helps the water to naturally drain and helps with the potholes. They don’t stop for pedestrian hence the brick streets reduces the speed of vehicles which in turn helps with the accidents. Everyone drives “crazy” for developed countries standards, but they have less accidents per car than developed countries has. A lots of it has to do with how slow the traffic pattern is.
Last summer I experienced about 6 power outages in villa more. Luckily the mariscal mall is 4 block away where I would go with my dog to stay cool. On average the outages would last from one hour to four hours. I am looking to get a battery backup to cover the air conditioner and the wifi. I can only find gas generators which are very noisy and you have to deal with getting gas. This summer I plan to go to on vacation and avoid the extreme heat all together.
I have experienced no blackouts in Colorado int he last 6 months to a year...LOL Having lived overseas a huge part of growing up It's one thing I love about the US is always have power. In States more prone to outage then buy a generator for your home.
It's brutal the heat even at 10 pm it's still sweltering. It's dangerously hot if your car breaks down you can heat stroke waiting for help. Carry a gallon of water always.
Yes. Me too. I’ve been to PY over 15 times and love the people, the food and PY traditions. I’m retired but don’t consider myself an old timer and there is a great chance I will also be living there in 3 or 4 years. Oh and my wife of over 35 years was born in Paraguay so that is my connection to PY. We already have our land and getting ready to build. Good luck to you in PY.
Spent a week in San Bernardino last year after Christmas. No real difference in the climate with Asuncion. If you have a high of 28 C, you have a beautiful day. Nobody would consider that hot. BTW, I've spent many years in Paraguay, just not in San Ber. Paraguay is hot. If you want a mild, cool climate, consider the Andean countries, like Ecuador. Places like Quito, Ambato, or Cuenca may be what you're looking for.
Do you get a cool change in the evenings as we normally expect here in Sydney ? (close to Ocean) It can get to 45C here on extreme days, but you can rely on a cool change coming.
When people go to their country they expect people to speak their language (rightly so), but when it's the other way around, they also expect people to speak their language. LOL Special snowflakes think the world owes them something and expect people to roll out the red carpet for them. I think, even when someone is staying short-term in a foreign country, they should show respect by making an effort to learn some basic words and sentences.
1. The roads so far are my biggest gripe about Paraguay. I've seen some that are juat straight dirtroads on the side streets. The brick roads were the next best thing. Lol. 2. The women there are beautiful. I like that, though. I've noticed that if i do have an issue with a Paraguayan woman, they're usually on some they are on some "pay for my onlyfans or give me money type of vibe". I leave them alone. 3. One con/saving grace is that Paraguay is not as easy to get to. You would easily need to have a layover and, at a minimum, need to fly for 10 hours.
@@LikeAGentlemanPlease dude what are you talking about, Paraguay is the safest country of South America. Its more safe than Brazil, Argentina, Bolviia, Colombia. Dont be ridiculous.
Arriving on dic 18 ,what's the best area to get my airbnb ,so far l only know around mall del sol Arriving el 18 de diciembre cual es un vecindario bueno para mi airbnb solo tengo idea mall del sol Muchas gracias.
i have been visiting PY for 8 years, used to spend there 1-2 years for work in few weeks blocks, and have a PY wife. now visiting PY for 3 mo/year. lot of stuff told in video is true, but a sugarcoated version. even living in Asuncion-this is at the end of the world. for me first month is very interesting, second is OK, and the third month during my visits -I am literally counting the days to fly out to civilization. if You have been travelling in many other places-PY is good to visit, but it is still very very underdeveloped country , for ex compared to Asia. and BTW-it is yes cheap in Latin America terms, but for ex significantly more expensive as Thailand or Malaysia.But Youa re truly right-the girls there are very dangerous.
@@NomadElite I am doing good. How are you doing? Is there any chance that when you share about other countries you can share about the cost or possibility of bringing the tangible assets that are in hand like precious metals, which apparently is a hot market that many around the world are personally purchasing? Another would be transferring past certified credentials. I have be friended some certified journeyman from countries like China in the past few decades that had simular journeyman certifications to mine. I just think this info stated above would be of a lot more interest when transitioning/contributing to another country.
The heat feels different in every place I've been. There are so many factors that play a role, including but not limited to humidity, proximity to the ocean, elevation air pollution, etc. Each place feels different.
@@mwaynerowe4782 i lived in fort myers fla, and now live in colonias unidas itapua... i would say is just about the same heat as in florida, maybe asuncion is hotter than where i live now, but if you have to compare asuncion might as well compare it to the heat in the arizona dessert jajaja, there are places where the weather is cooler more pleasant to visit in Paraguay.
So you are saying spent the northern hemisphere winter outside of Paraguay, maybe in a cooler spot in Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Panama, or the Dominican Republic or maybe even someplace in the Mediterrean like Albania, Montenegro, Cyprus, Malta or Spain being a bit cooler. Maybe take your long vacation in the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, then, and spend the northern hemisphere summer in Paraguay when it is cooler, but still warm.
Yes Patagonia Argentina ideal place to go during the hot roasting summers, I would love to do that and it cuts down the boredom of staying too long in Paraguay, there’s so much to do in Argentina, but I would like to have base in Paraguay because of tax and freedom because Argentina has a lot of digital id requirements that they connect with the other freaky controlling countries that want to know everything you with your money etc
Absolutamente sí, y hasta los más pobres porque en verano es prácticamente imposible dormir sin aire acondicionado, especialmente en las ciudades. En el campo suele ser un poco más fresco en las noches. Se puede comprar uno desde 350 U$ aproximadamente y hay tiendas que te lo venden en cómodas cuotas de hasta 18 o 24 meses.
4:24 😳Horrors, no!!😳 Yours truly can't stand audiovisual aggression such as ghastly parades during daylight and night venues featuring satanic noise. While in Paraguay one requires a string of gorgeous babes and bossa nova / guarania background.
As an electrician, I will build my own OFF GRID power supply, buy a small farm, and live off the land. At least I won't have to deal with all of the IDIOT college professors in the United States and all of the bullshit taxes and regulations they impose "for our safety" !!! 😆
I am aware that you are positive about your outlook on Paraguay. But I never watch your click-bait videos with a negative connotation title on the country that has welcomed you.

Im a paraguayan who speaks fluent english, everything in the video is true. But Paraguay is magic and have its charms, you have to feel them.
Thanks. Do you still live in Paraguay?
@@NomadElite Yes, I always lived here! Lemme know if there's something I can help you with
I live across the planet, but Paraguay seems amazing and I hope to visit some day!
If your English is FLUENT, you should not write "Paraguay HAVE its charms" but "Paraguay HAS its charms".
Paraguays speak a Mixture of Spanish and Guarani
During those very hot Paraguay summers (from December to March), using the air-con will not break the bank. Electricity is affordable in Paraguay as the country generates more than enough of its own hydro-power.
Paraguay is one of the largest producers of hydroelectric energy in the world. Electricity is very inexpensive, by Western standards.
@NomadElite what's the average temp?
I live in Texas. With no airconditioning in my car. I can live in the fires of Mordor.
Good one! 😂
Agreed, Paraguay sounds just like Laredo
i lived in san antonio texas for more than a decade, and have been living in Paraguay for 13 years now, besides not having ocean access, Paraguay is just as hot, but more humid.
Like Golum😂😂😂
Could somebody tell me something about the climate in Paraguay?? Is it hot?
Yes, it is hot!
Yes, half winter feels like summer
This is literally the first thing he mentions in the video.....
@@TheChelus 😳 well then it’s just like Perth!!

i been to Paraguay alot. I Don't care about the cons. I totally love live there. I can't wait to move there.

How about San Bernadino. Some sources say 28 C is the high in the summer. Is this true?

I lived in Miami Florida.
Was fine with the heat.
Likely not going to have problem in Paraguay I’d reckon, no?
Do you get a cool change in the evenings as we normally expect here in Sydney ? (close to Ocean) It can get to 45C here on extreme days, but you can rely on a cool change coming.
That's the first time I've heard about the sweltering heat. Thanks for the heads-up.
You're welcome.
Heaven, we dont have any Air condition, even mit in the Car, and we survive in Paraguay.
Ist Not for spoiled people, thats true.
Where do you live in Paraguay?
Why gringos think other countries should speak english, hilarious!!!
i do speak English in Paraguay
Deberias decir "algunos gringos", no son todos asi
We don't have to speak perfect Spanish, but we should make an effort for sure.
When people go to their country they expect people to speak their language (rightly so), but when it's the other way around, they also expect people to speak their language. LOL

I’ve lived in Houston and so I know I can handle the heat but it’s not my preference. Good to know. Winters in a Houston are great though. 🤣
As a Paraguayan, i love Winters, and i wish it snow, in compensation for all the heat we suffer
