Severe weather alerts issued across Argentina and Dominican Republic
Severe weather patterns are impacting multiple regions. In Argentina, a cold front is triggering widespread alerts. The National Meteorological Service has issued warnings for heavy storms, hail, and wind gusts exceeding 100 km/h in areas such as Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and Santa Fe. In the Catamarca mountains, heavy snowfall of up to 70 centimeters threatens to isolate rural communities and disrupt international crossings. Additionally, the Zonda wind is expected in San Juan, raising fire risks.
In the Dominican Republic, the passage of a tropical wave is causing heavy rain, thunderstorms, and wind gusts across several provinces. Meteorologists warn of high thermal sensations and potential cyclonic formation in the region.
Meanwhile, Madrid is expected to experience stable, dry weather with temperatures reaching 30 degrees Celsius, contrasting with the stormy conditions in the Americas.
