Overview
- The Servicio Meteorológico Nacional issued yellow alerts on Thursday 29 October for multiple provinces warning of storms, heavy short‑duration rain, lightning, occasional hail and strong gusts.
- Localized impacts were reported in San Miguel de Tucumán on Thursday when rapid downpours made several streets intransitable within minutes.
- The AMBA (City of Buenos Aires and suburbs) faces a heightened probability of storms overnight and the morning of Friday 30 October, with some forecasts putting chances up to about 70 percent.
- Forecasters expect typical yellow‑level magnitudes: widespread 20–50 mm accumulations with local exceedances, northerly winds of 40–60 km/h and gusts over 90 km/h in parts of east Chubut and Santa Cruz, plus possible rain‑snow at high elevations.
- Authorities and media circulated standard safety advice to stay informed, avoid unnecessary travel and secure drains and loose objects while some reports showed inconsistency about whether the City of Buenos Aires was formally included in specific bulletins for the morning of 30 October.
