Argentina Activates Red Weather Alert as Spain Forecasts Mid‑Week Snow Shift

Authorities emphasize preparedness with specific guidance for staying safe under red and orange alerts.

Overview

  • Argentina’s SMN has a red alert in south Chubut for west winds of 60–90 km/h with gusts expected to exceed 140 km/h around midday.
  • Santa Cruz is under an orange wind alert with gusts that could surpass 130 km/h, while yellow wind advisories cover Tierra del Fuego, east Chubut, Río Negro, southeast Neuquén, south La Pampa and the south of Buenos Aires province.
  • Northern Misiones holds an orange thunderstorm alert for strong to locally severe storms with brief heavy rain, frequent lightning and possible hail, alongside yellow storm alerts in eastern Jujuy and a portion of Salta and a yellow rain advisory in Tierra del Fuego.
  • The SMN urges residents in affected areas to shelter indoors, avoid trees and downed lines, keep an emergency kit ready and follow local emergency services’ instructions.
