Persona abrigada caminando en día frío de invierno en Buenos Aires con temperatura visible de 3°C
The National Meteorological Service (Servicio Meteorológico Nacional - SMN), Argentina's official weather agency, issued a yellow alert for extreme cold temperatures on Sunday, June 14, 2026. The alert affects the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA)—which includes the autonomous City of Buenos Aires and its surrounding suburbs in Buenos Aires Province, home to approximately 15 million people—as well as several other Argentine provinces.
Note for international readers: Argentina is located in the Southern Hemisphere, so June marks the beginning of winter. The polar cold fronts from Antarctica can bring freezing temperatures to the region.

The yellow alert for extreme cold covers multiple Argentine provinces:
The Flood Warning Center of the Naval Hydrography Service has issued an alert for an extraordinary rise in the Río de la Plata (the vast estuary formed by the confluence of the Uruguay and Paraná rivers, one of the widest in the world) during the early morning hours of Sunday:
Water levels could reach up to three meters (nearly 10 feet), exceeding typical tidal table values.
The southern part of Santa Cruz and the entire territory of Tierra del Fuego and the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) are under yellow alert for strong winds.
Safety recommendations:
During extreme cold events, the National Meteorological Service recommends:
Pay special attention to children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with chronic illnesses. If you are affected by the cold, do not self-medicate—consult a doctor or go to the nearest health center. If you have prescribed medication, keep your action plan updated.
The yellow alert is a weather warning category indicating that meteorological phenomena with possible adverse effects are expected. In the case of extreme cold, it refers to a period when maximum and minimum temperature values are expected that may endanger people's health, especially vulnerable groups.
The SMN uses three alert levels: yellow (possible effects), orange (probable and moderate effects), and red (probable and extreme effects).
