Overview
- Argentina’s meteorological service (SMN) keeps yellow alerts active for thunderstorms in Mendoza, west La Pampa, Río Negro and Neuquén, warning of frequent lightning, gusts near 60 km/h, possible hail and 10–30 mm of rain with local peaks up to about 60 mm.
- SMN also flags very strong southwest winds for southern Santa Cruz and the east coast of Tierra del Fuego, with sustained 45–55 km/h flow and gusts that can exceed 80 km/h.
- By contrast, the Buenos Aires metropolitan area is forecast to stay relatively stable and dry today with partial cloud and temperatures around 14–26°C.
- In Spain’s Galicia region, AEMET-based local forecasts report high afternoon and evening rain probabilities—often 80–100%—with cool 8–17°C readings, high humidity and a notable chance of isolated thunderstorms in multiple municipalities.
- Authorities and local outlets advise standard precautions such as securing loose items, avoiding outdoor exposure during storms, dressing for the chill and following updates from official channels.
