The Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) is experiencing a climate scenario more akin to winter than autumn. According to the National Meteorological Service (SMN), a cold air mass is settling this Monday May 11 over the region, maintaining lows close to 6°C and mostly gray days with abundant cloudiness.
An early winter
This pattern is due to an atmosphere dominated by persistent cold circulations and winds that prevent sustained thermal recovery.
Although specialists do not classify it as an extreme phenomenon, the continuity of low temperatures creates the perception of an early winter throughout the region.
The impact of the polar air was especially harsh over the weekend, with gusts exceeding 60 km/h, affecting both the Federal Capital and Greater Buenos Aires.
In light of this scenario, experts warn about the importance of ventilating environments to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning due to increased use of heating.
Forecast: When will the temperature rise?
The thermal rebound will be gradual and not felt immediately:
-
Thursday, May 14 and Friday, May 15: A slight improvement is expected. The lows could rise to 12°C, while the highs would be between 18 and 19 degrees.
-
Cause of relief: A gradual change in air circulation with less presence of cold masses and greater atmospheric stability.
However, the relief will be limited; the environment will continue to be cool and autumnal, with cold mornings and a marked lack of sun that will continue to affect the overall thermal sensation in the coming days.
