Severe thunderstorms are very common in the summer and have the capability to dump copious amounts of rainfall in a short period of time, along with destructively high winds and occasional hail. Winter is much drier and considerably cooler, with near drought-like conditions often prevailing. Concepción is also located in very close proximity to the Tropic of Capricorn, with the latitudinal line lying just south of the city. Template:Weather box
