The fires in Chubut continue unabated, with over 40,000 hectares burned. Authorities have reported that Provincial Route No. 71 is closed until further notice. Amid the unfavorable scenario, several days of rain are expected in the area, which would help extinguish the hotspots.

Regarding the weather, the National Meteorological Service (SMN) indicates in its daily report that rain is expected for this Monday and Tuesday, but there will also be wind.
