The National Meteorological Service has warned of 96 hours of expected rain and strong storms across much of Argentina during the long weekend.

The National Meteorological Service (SMN) has issued a warning about an unstable weather front expected to bring 96 hours of rainfall, strong storms, electrical activity, and cool temperatures across Argentina. This weather pattern is anticipated to affect a significant portion of the country, coinciding with a long weekend. Residents are advised to prepare for a dramatic drop in temperatures alongside the adverse weather conditions.

The SMN's latest report highlights orange alerts for provinces such as Córdoba, Santa Fe, and Entre Ríos, where heavy storms, some locally severe, are expected. These storms will primarily result in heavy rainfall over short periods, frequent electrical activity, occasional hail, and powerful wind gusts, potentially affecting day-to-day activities and safety in these regions.
