Newcomer The Worst Winter in History

[legend]

I gotta say, this polar wave hitting Argentina is really something else. I’ve never experienced anything like it. We’ve got red alerts all over the place because of these crazy low temperatures. Can you believe it? Temps dropping below 0 degrees Celsius! It's the worst winter in history, no doubt about it.

This intense cold is disrupting everything, and it’s a real challenge just to get through the day. Make sure you stay warm and take care of yourselves and your families.

I love seeing how many people are taking this situation with a sense of humor. As always, Argentinians have a knack for adding a touch of humor to every problem or situation.

I've never experienced a winter like this before! I'm praying for spring to arrive soon 🙏. The pictures I've seen from different cities in Buenos Aires and other provinces are just breathtaking. It's freezing, but hey, that's how it goes! Despite it all, many of us are taking it in stride with humor and documenting this event 🥶

This was a great time for me to move to Spain! I'm glad to be missing out on all that cold weather.

We've got a red alert for extreme cold, the most dangerous one, hitting parts of Buenos Aires province, La Pampa, San Luis, Mendoza, San Juan, Córdoba, Santa Fe, Entre Ríos, and Corrientes. After this weekend, experts say we'll see a slight rise in temperatures. I hope they're right because I'm holed up at home like a bear in hibernation! ❄️

This cold snap is posing serious challenges for agricultural regions. Farmers are really concerned about the potential onset of a black frost, which could lead to significant economic losses from crop damage. In addition to the current intense cold, prolonged frost conditions could devastate crops, affecting food production and supply chains. Hopefully, the forecasters are right and we'll see a temperature increase next week.

It's very sad what's happening to the animals due to this polar wave. I hope temperatures won't be as low as experts are predicting next week.

The country is experiencing its coldest winter since 1907, the worst in 60 years. This cold wave is compounded by electricity issues, as high demand has led to frequent power outages, making it even harder to cope with the frigid temperatures.

The spring-like days didn’t last long. There’s a weather alert for extreme cold, rain, and strong winds in Buenos Aires. There could also be heavy frost across much of the region, and some areas might even see snow. Time to pull out the winter coats again!

Oh dear, sorry to hear that. Guess our timing could not have been better, the weather was quite nice the whole 10 days we were here. Some chilly mornings but it always warmed up by midday.

Yeah you got REALLY lucky with the weather as it was very cold before you arrived some days and now it will get really cold again.

Yellow alert for intense storms, today is Santa Rosa's day, and according to the locals, it arrives every August 30th.

According to a projection by meteorology experts, Buenos Aires is on the list of flood-prone areas due to global warming. Neighborhoods like Belgrano, Nuñez, Palermo, Recoleta, and Retiro could be affected. I just hope this prediction doesn't come true.

There have been periods when we get a ton of rain and there are some flooding issues in low lying areas. Hopefully we avoid any issues.

Nature gives us no respite: according to experts, 'black rain' will arrive in Argentina in a few days. This environmental phenomenon occurs when raindrops mix with ash, soot, or chemical compounds. In this case, it's due to wildfires in northern South America. The distinct feature of this rain is its dark color, either black or brown.
