Sources: 34. Developments: 2. Weather volatility persists across Latin America, with intensifying storm activity and wind hazards. In Argentina, Catamarca is under orange and yellow alerts as high winds threaten mountainous areas like Antofagasta de la Sierra and Tinogasta, where gusts may exceed 130 km/h. In Misiones, heavy rains, wind, and hail have already caused property damage, including fallen power lines and roof collapses, necessitating police assistance for affected families. Paraguay continues to face a hot, windy environment with temperatures reaching up to 38°C. Northern winds may produce gusts between 40 and 90 km/h, elevating wildfire risks, while storms are anticipated in the southern departments of Misiones and Itapúa. In Mexico, the influence of the Mexican monsoon and tropical wave 33 is driving heavy to very heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and potential hail. The National Water Commission (Conagua) has warned of intense precipitation in states such as Sonora, Sinaloa, and Veracruz, alongside extreme temperatures that could reach 45°C. In the Caribbean and Dominican Republic, a tropical wave is expected to bring scattered showers and thunderstorms. Authorities are monitoring this wave, which has a low probability of becoming a cyclone but may still deliver heavy rains to the north and northeast of the region. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-29: Latin America faces severe weather including high winds and heavy rain Severe weather impacts Latin America, including high winds in Catamarca, storms in Paraguay, and heavy rains and extreme heat in Mexico driven by tropical waves and the Mexican monsoon. 32 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/weather-forecast-for-neuqun-and-chubut-provinces ### 2026-08-15: Weather forecast for Chubut and Neuquén provinces Cold and cloudy weather is forecast for Chubut and Neuquén, with low temperatures and wind gusts expected across various cities in both Argentine provinces. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/weather-forecast-for-chubut-and-neuqun-provinces --- Cite as: Shifting weather patterns across Latin America.
