Rain arrives for 96 hours: thunderstorms and gusts of wind up to 50 km/h are announced in Buenos Aires

A severe weather warning has been issued for Buenos Aires and surrounding provinces, predicting storms and high winds over the next 96 hours.

The National Meteorological Service of Argentina (SMN) has issued yellow and orange alerts for several provinces, including Buenos Aires, due to the arrival of severe weather. A cold front is set to bring dangerous meteorological phenomena, including storms with wind gusts reaching 90 km/h in some regions, which poses risks to life and property. Meanwhile, Buenos Aires itself is expected to experience a mostly cloudy day with the possibility of rain starting around noon.

Specifically, provinces such as Catamarca, Córdoba, Jujuy, Salta, Santiago del Estero, and Tucumán are under an orange warning due to the forecast of severe storms, while other areas like Litoral and Cuyo are under a yellow warning due to anticipated heavy rains and frequent electrical activity. The area around Buenos Aires is likely to see temperatures peaking at 28°C but starting the day at a minimum of 22°C, indicating a warm prelude to the unsettled weather ahead.

As this front moves in, the implications of such weather patterns could affect daily life across the affected regions, disrupting transportation and other activities. Authorities urge residents to remain vigilant and prepare for potential flooding and strong winds, emphasizing the need for preparedness in anticipation of these storms, which can create hazardous conditions for the communities in the warning zones.
