does everyone get a siesta, including healthcare workers? This concept seems very alien in America, I've never heard of such thing as an afternoon-nap break from work.
Its a habit in few places, usually very hot ones, like Formosa, or places in Santa Fe. Someone from there please correct me if im wrong, but i think its still a habit there.
Not in most cities, though. Nodoby here in BA sleeps siesta and is a city 24/7.
I've been to Formosa, Argentina. About 30 years ago I was on one of my wandering exploration trips through South America by bus. I was at Iguazu Falls, on the border of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. Then I went to Asuncion (capital of Paraguay), which is about an hour north of Formosa. I was there in the month of September, which is early Spring, and before the summer rainy season. The weather was pretty nice in September, cool enough for a jacket in the mornings and evenings. I passed through Formosa on the bus heading south towards Santa Fe and Rosario, and then Buenos Aires.
Formosa in summer would be similar to summer in most places in the southeastern US. I lived in Alabama for several years, and Formosa summer temps and humidity would be comparable.

Yes everyone sleeps siesta even the health workers, so dont have a heart attack at 3pm or nobody will be there to help you.
I gave it a C but on second thoughts I should have given it a D -
I dislike the overly long rainy/humid season (basically most of the year), but June to August look very pleasant and mild, with very little rain.
Having lived in a tropical climate before (the Philippines), I wouldn't exactly call it "hell." It's not that bad!
I remember spending Christmas in Manila. I think the nighttime temp dropped to around 17C and it was featured on the news! LOL
It's an F from me. Too hot in the summer, and quite humid too. Anyway, as some posters have suggested, the winter averages are averages. It can be 35 C (95 F) in the middle of July (where the average high is 21.9 C / 71.4 F), but that means that it can also be much cooler.
