After two weeks of temperate, dry weather with few clouds, this Friday dawned with totally cloudy skies and it is expected that in the next few hours the rains will arrive in the city of Buenos Aires and the suburbs.
The National Meteorological Service (SMN) indicated that this Friday will continue with cloudy skies and that some showers are expected in the afternoon and isolated rains at night, with winds from the northeast sector rotating to the south.
For Saturday, the agency foresees a day with partly cloudy sky to mostly cloudy, winds from the southeast sector rotating to the east and a temperature that, although still warm, drops a little and will be between 10 degrees of minimum and 17 of maximum.
Meanwhile, Sunday is forecast mostly cloudy sky, wind from the northeast sector and a minimum temperature of 13 degrees and maximum of 19.
Unusually warm weather
Although the calendar marks that autumn is advanced, in recent days temperatures typical of a "summer" were recorded in Greater Buenos Aires, with maximums of up to 24 °.
And this is not causal. The 2023-2027 period will most likely be the hottest ever recorded, due to the impact of greenhouse gases and the El Niño weather phenomenon, which are causing temperatures to rise, the UN warned on Wednesday.
"There is a 98% chance that at least one of the next five years, and the five-year period as a whole, will be the hottest ever recorded," the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said.
This specialized agency of the United Nations also estimates at 66% the probability that the average annual temperature of the Earth's surface exceeds pre-industrial levels by 1.5 °C during at least one of those five years.
The Paris climate agreements (2015) set the objective of limiting the increase in global temperatures in this century to below 2 °C, relative to pre-industrial levels from 1850 to 1900, or to 1.5 °C as far as possible.
