Argentina Braces for Twin Cold Fronts and Cyclone as Atlantic Fronts Brush Spain

Forecasts point to a polar surge driving a marked cool-down in Argentina alongside a short-lived warmup in Spain.

Overview

  • Argentina’s weather service expects two cold fronts and an associated cyclone to sweep south to north, triggering storms, strong winds and a weekend influx of polar air.
  • The first front arrives Tuesday in southern Cuyo and the southern Pampas with rain, thunderstorms with possible hail, and southeasterly gusts near 60 km/h.
  • A second front is forecast to reinforce instability from Thursday, with storms spreading through central areas before pushing north on Friday.
  • Temperatures are projected to plunge by around 10°C in hours in Buenos Aires over the weekend, with isolated snowfall possible in Andean and Patagonian highlands.
  • In Spain, Catalonia saw morning showers from a UK-linked Atlantic low before clearing and a midweek warm spell, while Galicia faces a cloudy, humid day with light rain, fog risk and southerly to southwesterly gusts up to roughly 44–49 km/h.
