Argentina‘s national weather service issued yellow alerts for severe storms, hail, and damaging wind gusts across parts of three provinces in late October, with storm activity moving through southern farming regions.
Argentina’s Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN) placed parts of Mendoza (including the Malargüe area), Chubut, and Santa Cruz under yellow storm alerts for the period around October 26–27, 2026. The forecast called for up to 20 to 40 millimeters of rain in parts of Mendoza and 15 to 30 millimeters in parts of Chubut and Santa Cruz, with storm cells carrying the risk of hail and strong wind gusts. Travelers and residents in affected areas should check smn.gob.ar for the current active alert zones, as advisory boundaries can change with each bulletin.

On Tuesday, October 27, SMN issued separate yellow alerts covering parts of Mendoza, San Luis, and Córdoba—a different set of provinces from Monday’s bulletin.
