Storms Ease in Spain and Argentina as Alerts Persist and Temperatures Fall

Weather agencies report weakening systems with residual hazards today followed by a rapid transition to cooler, more stable conditions.

Overview

  • Argentina’s SMN keeps orange and yellow alerts in effect for several provinces, warning of frequent lightning, hail, gusts that may exceed 90 km/h and rainfall generally in the 40–80 mm range.
  • Overnight storms in Argentina triggered flooding and fallen trees in cities such as Paraná, where about 30 mm had fallen by 5 a.m., while the AMBA and Rosario areas shifted to yellow wind alerts as rain chances ease.
  • In Spain, the Claudia system is fading after very high local totals in Córdoba province, including 173.8 L/m² in Espiel and 166 L/m² in Córdoba‑Guadanuño, with provincial averages above 60 L/m².
  • Observers in Córdoba reported small funnel-like vortices during the episode, and local services handled numerous operations for flooding, downed trees and rescues.
  • Córdoba’s mayor criticized the late escalation of Aemet’s alert to orange, and forecasts call for a marked cool-down from Tuesday with possible overnight frosts in interior areas.
