A deluge is coming for 48 hours: when storms are expected in CABA
Severe storms are forecasted to affect Buenos Aires and other provinces in Argentina for at least 48 hours, starting tonight.
Argentina is bracing for severe weather as the National Meteorological Service (SMN) has warned of storms that will impact several provinces, including the northern regions and Patagonia. The weather instability is expected to intensify, with heavy rain forecasted to begin in the City of Buenos Aires (CABA) and the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (AMBA) on the evening of Wednesday, March 4, 2026. Meteorologists indicate that this weather pattern could lead to at least 48 hours of precipitation in these areas.
As the storm approaches, the SMN reported that some provinces have already begun to experience severe conditions, with storms occurring in Chaco and Corrientes. By Wednesday afternoon, these storms are expected to extend into the central and northern regions of Argentina, bringing heavy rainfall to areas already grappling with intense weather. In Patagonia, rain and localized downpours are anticipated as well.
The situation in Buenos Aires will see the initial signs of the approaching storms appearing in the sky, likely accompanied by increasing cloud cover. Residents are advised to prepare for the severe weather, as temperatures in the northeastern region of Argentina are expected to remain above 30°C, indicating a notable contrast to the upcoming storm conditions. With the predictions of thunderstorms and heavy rains, this weather event is met with caution by both local authorities and the public.
