Argentina Issues Wind and Zonda Alerts as Galicia Faces Drizzle and Monterrey Stays Dry

Public forecasts emphasize localized, short‑term impacts rather than widespread severe weather.

Overview

  • Argentina’s national weather service placed yellow wind alerts over 11 provinces with sustained 40–60 km/h and gusts that may exceed 90 km/h.
  • Zonda advisories cover parts of Mendoza and San Juan, with 35–50 km/h winds and gusts above 70 km/h that can cut visibility, spike temperatures and drop humidity.
  • A cold front is forecast to advance across central and northern Argentina on October 4–5, bringing rains and storms of varied intensity.
  • AEMET‑based forecasts for Galicia on October 4 call for overcast skies, very high humidity and a 100% chance of light rain or drizzle in several Pontevedra municipalities, with totals generally under 1 mm and patchy fog reducing visibility.
  • Mexico’s CONAGUA and SMN note seasonal variability with a possible front influencing the north, while Monterrey is expected to remain mostly dry with highs near 31–32°C and only isolated, low‑probability showers.
