Sauna Friday

The City of Buenos Aires and its surroundings remain under the influence of a tropical air mass. This creates a heavy and humid environment. "You opened the door and already found yourself in this sauna, because you can already feel it," Bertolotti expressed about the day.

The thermometer will read 35°C, but the heat index could exceed 40°C due to the high humidity. Constant hydration is recommended, and avoiding sun exposure during the hottest hours.

Storms on the way: when do the rains arrive?

The day starts with variable cloudiness, but Bertolotti warned that instability will increase and storms are not ruled out during the Friday afternoon-evening. "If we look to the north, the storms are visible," he commented.
