Mexico Faces Storms and 45°C Heat as Cold Front Arrives, Argentina Flags Zonda, Madrid to Cool

National forecasters warn of sharp, fast‑shifting hazards driven by spring storm patterns.

Overview

  • Mexico’s weather service said Tuesday that an upper‑level trough plus Pacific and Gulf moisture will trigger showers and thunderstorms across wide areas, with heavy rain focused on Puebla, Veracruz and Oaxaca.
  • The same outlook keeps afternoon highs at 40–45°C in parts of Sonora, Chihuahua, Sinaloa and Guerrero, while highland zones from Chihuahua to Puebla may see frosts with lows near -5°C.
  • Cold Front 42 is entering northern Mexico, and forecasters expect strong gusts near the border as the front interacts with the humid air mass.
  • Argentina’s meteorological agency issued yellow alerts Tuesday for storms in Formosa and Misiones and for strong winds and viento zonda in sectors of Mendoza, San Luis, Chubut, Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego, with zonda defined as a dry downslope wind that spikes temperatures and drops humidity.
  • Spain’s Aemet forecasts sunny warmth in Madrid peaking Wednesday near 22°C before a notable temperature drop heading into Holy Week.
