There is a red and orange alert for extreme heat and storms for this Friday, February 20: the affected provinces
Argentina's National Meteorological Service has issued red and orange alerts for extreme heat and storms affecting several provinces on February 20.
The National Meteorological Service (SMN) of Argentina has issued warnings for extreme heat and potential storms for various regions across the country, particularly on February 20. While conditions in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires are expected to remain stable with temperatures around 24°C, concerning weather patterns have been noted in other provinces.
The alerts include red zones in parts of Corrientes and Chaco, indicating that the temperatures can be extremely dangerous and potentially harmful to all individuals, including those who are otherwise healthy. This situation calls for caution, especially for vulnerable populations, as the impact of high temperatures can range from severe health risks to heat-related illnesses.
With Argentina facing a week of varied weather conditions, the issuance of multiple alerts by the SMN highlights the importance of staying informed about local weather changes and adhering to public safety recommendations. Residents in the impacted provinces are urged to take precautions to protect their health and response readiness, particularly in regions where storm activity may also arise alongside the heat.
