Light Afternoon Drizzle Expected in Galicia as Argentina Issues Strong‑Wind Warnings

The Galician forecasts point to brief, very low‑accumulation showers that could affect afternoon outdoor plans while Argentina's meteorological service warns of Zonda and extreme gusts in highland northwest areas.

Overview

  • Galician municipal forecasts compiled from Spain’s AEMET show clearer mornings turning to increased cloud and a high chance of light afternoon or evening drizzle on Sunday, with most towns expecting only 0.1–0.5 mm of rain.
  • Humidity will be high across Galicia through the day and temperatures are forecast to remain mild, generally in the mid‑teens to mid‑20s Celsius, with southerly or westerly winds and gusts commonly around 30–34 km/h.
  • Argentina’s Servicio Meteorológico Nacional issued active yellow and orange wind alerts for parts of Jujuy, Salta, Catamarca and Tucumán that warn of very strong westerly gusts and Zonda events that can exceed 130 km/h at elevation.
  • A Zonda is a dry, downslope wind that can cause sudden temperature rises, strong gusts and reduced visibility, so the SMN guidance urges securing loose objects and limiting travel in exposed highland areas during alert periods.
  • Both sets of forecasts come from national agencies (AEMET for Galicia and SMN for Argentina) and advise taking simple precautions for light rain in Galicia and for hazardous high‑elevation winds in northwest Argentina.
