Argentina Issues Yellow Alerts for Storms, Heat and Wind as Mexico Sees Extreme Temperature Swings

Officials say fast-changing conditions raise public-safety risks.

Overview

  • Argentina’s national weather service, which updated its guidance Saturday, kept yellow-level alerts in place across several provinces for storms, extreme heat and strong winds.
  • Storm areas could see 30–70 mm of rain in short bursts with frequent lightning, isolated hail and wind gusts near 80 km/h, while a separate alert in Santa Cruz and part of Chubut warns of sustained 40–65 km/h winds with gusts up to 90 km/h.
  • Mexico City’s risk agency activated a yellow cold alert for Álvaro Obregón, Cuajimalpa, Magdalena Contreras, Milpa Alta and Xochimilco as overnight and early-morning temperatures dip to about 4–6°C. Mexico’s national forecast highlights sharp day–night swings in several states, with near 0–5°C at dawn and hot afternoons of 35–40°C in places such as Nuevo León, prompting advice to dress in layers, hydrate and limit midday exposure.
  • Regional outlooks also show clear, dry weather in Spain’s Galicia with strong afternoon gusts around 55–59 km/h and no rain, underscoring how the same day brings very different hazards and the need to follow local safety guidance.
