Weather-related impacts in Argentina

Overview

In early September 2026, Argentina faced weather-related challenges across different sectors. In Mendoza and Salta, seasonal winter shelters for homeless populations concluded their operations. In Mendoza, authorities prepared to evaluate the season’s impact on labor reintegration and family reunification, while officials remained on alert for the ‘Super Niño’ phenomenon.

Simultaneously, the agricultural sector in Mendoza faced threats from incoming sub-zero temperatures. The Dirección de Contingencias Climáticas issued alerts for several departments, warning that frost could damage crops in the flowering stage. Provincial authorities advised farmers to use irrigation and ventilation to mitigate damage and reminded them that burning tires to combat frost is illegal.
