Argentina on Orange and Yellow Storm Alert as Severe Weather Hits, Galicia Set for Wind and Rain

A short, early‑week cooldown gives way to warmer, more stable conditions by midweek.

Overview

  • Argentina’s national weather service kept orange and yellow alerts in force across 16 provinces, warning of frequent lightning, localized gusts over 80–90 km/h, hail and heavy rain.
  • Orange alerts cover west Chaco, north Córdoba, north Santiago del Estero, Tucumán and central Jujuy, while Buenos Aires and parts of the coast are under a yellow rain alert with 40–60 mm possible.
  • Córdoba recorded some of the heaviest impacts, with official station data topping 100 mm in several towns and reports of hail damaging developing maize; officials reiterated standard safety guidance.
  • Forecasts indicate a brief drop in temperatures to start the week before winds turn north and readings climb from Tuesday, with local outlooks in Jujuy, Tucumán and Mendoza pointing to a midweek rebound.
  • In Spain’s Galicia, AEMET forecasts near‑certain afternoon precipitation and strong southerly gusts up to about 60 km/h in towns including Cambados, A Guarda, Ponte Caldelas, O Rosal and Mondariz, while Mexico’s early‑December outlook flags the arrival of Cold Front 17 and a second winter storm with La Niña likely to keep Pacific coasts warmer.
