The National Meteorological Service (SMN) anticipates for the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) a marked climatic variability. Although significant rains are not expected, the entry of a cold front will change conditions towards the weekend.
Weekly Balance and Transition
This Thursday, the last day of April, presents a stable scenario with temperatures between 8°C and 23°C and light winds from the south sector. On Friday, May 1st, the minimum will rise to 15°C and the maximum will reach 25°C, maintaining a low probability of precipitation (0% to 10%).
