Overview
- Argentina’s weather service issued orange wind alerts for Saturday in western Patagonia, warning of gusts near 70 km/h in parts of Neuquén, Río Negro and Chubut with a risk of falling trees, roof damage and difficult travel, plus light precipitation and some high‑elevation snow.
- Following Friday’s yellow alerts in Cuyo, Mendoza and San Juan faced storms with 30–70 mm of rain, lightning, hail and gusts above 60 km/h peaking around midday, prompting guidance to secure loose items and avoid flood‑prone areas.
- In Mexico, after Thursday’s heat wave that pushed temperatures up to 45°C in nine states, forecasters said a cold front and a dry line on Friday would bring 40–60 km/h winds and scattered showers to Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas.
- Conagua’s outlook for Nuevo León on Friday called for 35–40°C heat along with gusty winds and showers in parts of the state, while local forecasts showed many towns staying dry and higher terrain seeing isolated storms.
- Galicia in Spain provided a stark contrast as AEMET projected a mostly cloudy but dry stretch on Friday and Saturday with highs around 20–25°C and light to moderate breezes, illustrating how spring fronts and boundary lines can create very different conditions across nearby regions.
