The heat is being strongly felt in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) and this Thursday, December 18 will be one of the most demanding days of the week. Meteorologist Matías Bertolotti anticipated this and warned about high temperatures, hot wind, and very brief relief toward the night.
The scenario will be dominated by a very warm air mass, with a high heat index and changes that are not enough to modify the general outlook. The focus is on staying hydrated and protecting oneself from the heat.
Today's weather: sweltering Thursday in Buenos Aires
For this Thursday, December 18, Bertolotti anticipated a high of 35 degrees (95 degrees Fahrenheit) in Buenos Aires City and surrounding areas. The northwesterly wind will act like a real space heater, intensifying the heat throughout the entire day.
There may be some isolated dark clouds due to slight instability, but the day will alternate between clear skies and few clouds. "There is no middle ground," the specialist explained.
Night with wind shift and brief relief
Toward the end of the afternoon or the beginning of the night, a weak cold front will cause the wind to shift to the southeast. This will generate a sharp drop in temperature, although it will last for just a few hours.
