Yellow Alert for Rain Issued for Thursday, April 16: Affected Provinces

Argentina's National Meteorological Service (SMN) has placed the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) under a yellow alert for rainfall on Thursday, April 16. Residents in both the City of Buenos Aires and the Province of Buenos Aires are bracing for a day of persistent precipitation, with forecasts indicating moderate to heavy downpours throughout the day.

The SMN's report highlights that while the rain is not expected to be accompanied by electrical activity, the accumulated volume could be significant. The City of Buenos Aires anticipates between 30 and 70 mm of rain, with potential for localized exceedances. Temperatures are expected to range from 19°C to 23°C, with a slight drop anticipated overnight.

In the Province of Buenos Aires, the situation is similarly wet, particularly along the coast between Mar del Tuyú and Miramar, and in districts bordering Santa Fe. Here, accumulated rainfall could reach up to 80 mm, with temperatures hovering between 18°C and 22°C. The yellow alert signifies a risk of temporary interruptions to daily activities, and the public is advised to limit outdoor engagements.

This spell of wet weather is part of a broader pattern affecting central and northern Argentina. While the weekend offers a brief respite with clearer skies expected by Saturday morning, the respite is short-lived, as another round of rain is forecast to begin on Sunday. This ongoing pattern underscores the dynamic weather systems currently influencing the region.
