Severe Weather Hits Buenos Aires and France: What You Need to Know
In recent days, winter has unleashed its worst conditions across the globe, with Buenos Aires and France experiencing severe weather phenomena. The City of Buenos Aires has been plagued by cloudy, cold, and rainy days, attributed to cyclogenesis, which has occurred twice in less than a month. As a result, nine provinces are under alert for storms, wind, and snowfall. The National Meteorological Service (SMN) has warned residents to brace for isolated storms and rain throughout Wednesday, August 21, with temperatures hovering between 9 and 11 degrees Celsius.

Saturday will see strong storms progressing from the southwest to the northeast, with potential hail and violent gusts affecting regions like Occitanie and Burgundy. As temperatures drop across the northern half of France, thunderstorms are expected to continue into Sunday.
