This Tuesday morning, Buenos Aires and the Greater Buenos Aires region were struck by a powerful storm characterized by intense rain, thunder, and lightning. The National Meteorological Service (SMN) had previously issued yellow weather alerts nationally, including Buenos Aires and 14 provinces, warning of potential storms that could lead to hail and electrical activity. A yellow alert indicates that there are expected "possible meteorological phenomena with damage capacity and risks of momentarily interrupting daily activities."

As the storm approached midnight, the likelihood of severe weather became imminent following hours of a threatening night sky. The SMN issued a short-term warning just before 1 AM about the anticipated strong storms, which were expected to bring heavy rains, gusty winds, and possible hail. These warnings were a part of ongoing meteorological monitoring aimed at keeping the public informed and safe during significant weather events.

The impact of such storms can be significant for urban areas, affecting transportation, infrastructure, and daily life. The issued alerts serve to prepare residents for possible disruptions and to mitigate risks associated with extreme weather conditions. As climate change continues to influence weather patterns, instances of severe storms may become more frequent, underscoring the importance of public readiness and resilience in the face of natural disasters.
