Cold Front Brings Rain and Violet Fog to Buenos Aires Region

The Servicio Meteorológico Nacional warns heavy localized rainfall could trigger travel disruption or flooding in low-lying areas.

Overview

  • A cold front began moving over central Argentina on Saturday, producing a pulse of instability that will affect Buenos Aires province and other central regions.
  • The SMN forecasts continuous rain and isolated storms for interior parts of Buenos Aires with 30–60 mm expected in 48 hours and possible localized peaks above those amounts.
  • The AMBA has a 'violet' fog alert from the SMN for persistent fog banks that will sharply reduce visibility and has prompted road-safety advice for motorists.
  • Forecasters say instability will persist into Sunday and Monday with daytime highs near 22–23°C and the chance of isolated storms and gusty winds.
  • By contrast, AEMET-based town forecasts for Galicia predict only light pre-dawn drizzle that will clear to milder afternoons of about 20–23°C, reducing travel impact there.
