Overview

  • The SMN forecasts heavy rainfall, isolated thunderstorms and wind gusts over 100 km/h in affected regions through Tuesday morning.
  • The evolving low-pressure system has been classified as a subtropical ciclogénesis, a phenomenon less common than extratropical cyclones in Argentina.
  • Experts warn that explosive intensification, or bombogenesis, could occur, leading to more severe storms and coastal surges.
  • Advisories cover areas from the Buenos Aires metropolitan region to Patagonia, including coastal zones along the Río de la Plata and the South Atlantic.
  • Authorities recommend securing loose objects, avoiding travel during severe conditions and following official SMN channels for the latest updates.
