Argentina Issues Yellow Alerts for High Winds and Storms as Galicia Stays Dry and Veracruz Turns Cloudy

The warnings point to gusts strong enough to disrupt travel or outdoor plans in the far south.

Overview

  • The Argentine weather service, which issued yellow alerts Friday, warns of westerly gusts up to 100 km/h in Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego and of thunderstorms with hail and 90 km/h gusts in Formosa, Chaco, Corrientes, Misiones, San Luis and Córdoba.
  • In Buenos Aires’ metropolitan area, Saturday starts mild and mostly dry with 15–23°C and only slight rain chances, contrasting with the warned conditions farther south and north.
  • Across Galicia on Saturday, AEMET-based local forecasts show largely dry spring weather but brisk northerlies with gusts around 40–56 km/h in towns such as Marín, Bueu, Meaño and O Rosal.
  • In Veracruz state, Xalapa is set for a very cloudy Saturday with 14–24°C, low odds of intense showers under 15%, light winds, and good air quality with PM2.5 near 8.6 µg/m³.
  • A yellow alert in these systems signals a lower-tier risk that still merits care, so officials urge checking frequent bulletins, securing loose items, and timing travel to avoid brief bursts of wind or rain.
