Overview
- The Servicio Meteorológico Nacional kept a yellow alert for strong winds over the Buenos Aires metropolitan area on Monday with gusts that could reach about 80 km/h and daytime highs near 17°C.
- SMN also issued multiple regional warnings for storms, heavy rain, high‑altitude snow and Zonda winds in Jujuy where Zonda gusts are expected to top 70 km/h, prompting official safety guidance to secure loose objects and avoid unnecessary travel.
- Mexico’s CONAGUA said Tropical Storm Polo will bring heavy to very heavy rains to western and southern states including Oaxaca and Nayarit with risks of flooding, while the U.S. National Hurricane Center reported Fay weakening near the Azores and likely to become post‑tropical soon.
- Forecasts show the coldest conditions arriving Tuesday with lower minima and subdued daytime temperatures, then a recovery beginning Wednesday and highs returning to the mid‑20s Celsius by Thursday or Friday in the AMBA.
- Officials warn the public to follow local advisories for wind damage, fire risk where Zonda dries vegetation, and flood watches in Mexico, and to expect shifting conditions through the week as the low moves off the Patagonia coast.
