Following a frontal system that brought storms and rain, a dry and stable air mass is settling over the country, causing a significant rise in temperatures. Forecast models warn of an extreme heat episode, with temperatures exceeding the seasonal average, especially in northern Argentina. According to the Argentine News Agency, the wind shift to the north will promote the influx of warm air from low latitudes, ensuring stable conditions with maximum temperatures well above 40 °C. The thermal increase will be notable and intensify during the long weekend and the following week, with Wednesday and Thursday being the most intense days. Northern Argentina: Santiago del Estero, Chaco, and Formosa — projected temperatures between 40 °C and 44 °C, up to 10 °C above normal for November. Central Belt: Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and San Luis — values between 34 °C and 36 °C, with peaks of up to 40 °C in western areas. The warm air mass will dominate the weather at least until Thursday or Friday of next week, when the advance of a new cold front from the south is expected, which could only gradually bring thermal relief.
