Buenos Aires Faces Winter Chill as Warm Spell Fails to Materialize

Buenos Aires is set to trade unstable weather for a sustained cold snap, with the National Meteorological Service (SMN) forecasting a return to typical winter conditions. After a week that saw rain and mild temperatures, Friday will offer a brief respite with a high of 23°C. However, this warmth is fleeting, as temperatures are predicted to plummet from Saturday and stay low for the subsequent week. The much-anticipated "Veranito de San Juan," a period of unseasonably warm weather in mid-winter, is not expected to materialize this July. The forecast indicates a steady decline in temperatures starting Saturday, with highs struggling to reach 18°C. By Sunday, the city can expect a more characteristic winter feel, with maximums around 15°C and minimums of 10°C. This cool trend is projected to continue into the following week, with daily highs hovering between 10°C and 14°C early on, and settling around 13°C mid-week. No significant rainfall is expected during this period, reinforcing the return of stable, cold weather to the Argentine capital.
