Peru, Argentina and Galicia Under Official Alerts for Cold, High Winds and Rain

Meteorological agencies attribute the risks to a dry upper‑level air mass over the Andes, with strong low‑level flow fueling Argentine storms.

Overview

  • Peru’s Senamhi keeps a yellow alert in effect through November 2 for Lima and 15 regions, warning of sharp nocturnal cooling in high‑Andean areas.
  • Forecast minima reach −15 °C in the southern highlands and around −4 °C in central and northern ranges, with scant cloud cover and gusts up to 45 km/h increasing day–night thermal contrast.
  • Argentina’s SMN maintains yellow alerts for November 1–2: storms for parts of Misiones, Formosa, Córdoba, San Luis and La Rioja, and strong winds for La Rioja, San Juan, Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego.
  • SMN bulletins call for southwest winds of 40–60 km/h with gusts that can exceed 90 km/h, localized heavy rain, frequent lightning and possible hail, plus standard safety guidance for residents.
  • AEMET‑based forecasts reported widespread rain across Galicia on November 1, with several municipalities seeing a 100% precipitation probability and breezy southwest flow.
