The rains arrive in Buenos Aires, but they announce a red alert

He National Meteorological Service (SMN) how will the week of the new heat wave that affects the city of Buenos Aires and the suburbs, gave details about the maximums and minimums, and warned about a rise in extreme temperatures that can be “very dangerous.”

Going to bed and waking up in oppressive heat has been a constant rule during the summer of the 2022-2023 season. The ferocity with which the high temperatures have hit the country has been reflected in the drought that will bring millions in losses in agricultural production, but also in the thousands of users who have been victims of the power outages.

All in all, the SMN reported that relief from the rain will arrive this Wednesday, although temperatures will remain high. Skies will be mostly cloudy with isolated thunderstorms in the morning becoming stronger in the afternoon, with north sector winds rotating northeast and a temperature that will have a minimum of 27 degrees and a maximum of 33.

The body, however, maintains the Red alert for heat. This warns of very dangerous temperatures and conditions that could no longer only impact minors and the elderly, but also healthy people.

How are the temperatures on Thursday and Friday?

The panorama does not seem to improve in terms of what the mercury marks, despite the rainfall. A cloudy day is also forecast for Thursday, with isolated storms between early morning and afternoon, but with temperatures between 24 and 30 degrees.

Relief would only appear on Friday due to the arrival of southerly winds rotating to the east. However, from the Meteorological Service they added that the minimum would be 24 degrees and the maximum 31, with mostly cloudy skies.

The heat broke a new record on Monday

The head of the National Electricity Regulatory Entity (ENRE), walter martel, said this Tuesday that on March 13 there was a new historical demand record in the Argentine Interconnection System (SADI) with 29,089 MW. Friday the 10th had been the last record of that magnitude with 28,562 MW.

Due to the permanent cuts and the lack of business response, Martello stated via social networks: “The ENRE will submit a technical report to the Honorable Congress of the Nation, in the course of the next 90 days, to evaluate the possible expiration of the concession of the company EDESUR SA”. The official had already requested that the state intervene in the company to manage the electrical spectrum.
