Residents of Buenos Aires and the AMBA region should prepare for a sharp return of intense cold this week, with morning temperatures expected to plummet. Monday will start with a minimum of 3°C in the city and 2°C in the suburbs, with wind chill making it feel below freezing. Early morning fog may also reduce visibility.
Despite the frigid starts, the week promises a significant thermal amplitude. Afternoons will bring relief, with temperatures recovering to around 13°C on Monday and climbing further to 17°C on Tuesday and 18°C on Wednesday. This warming trend is attributed to less wind and a shift in air currents, offering a respite from the extreme cold.
However, the clear skies that facilitate the afternoon warmth will also contribute to rapid temperature drops at night. By Wednesday, cloud cover is expected to increase, limiting sunshine throughout the day, though temperatures will remain mild. The forecast suggests that the sun will become scarce again by Thursday, signaling the end of the brief period of warmer afternoons.
