Heavy rains and hail hit northern Buenos Aires agricultural area

A weather front moved through northern Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and Corrientes, bringing intense rains, hail, and strong winds. These caused downed poles and trees, leading to power outages in rural areas and impassable roads. Rainfall amounts were highly variable, ranging from less than 5 mm to peaks of 150 mm.

The agricultural north of Buenos Aires province faced a severe weather event as a storm front advanced from neighboring areas. Reports indicate the system primarily affected regions between Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and Corrientes, with locally intense precipitation episodes.

Hail, or frozen stones, struck several rural zones, accompanied by wind gusts that knocked down electrical poles and trees. This led to power outages in remote rural spots and roads made impassable by flooding.

Rainfall totals showed significant variation: some areas recorded less than 5 mm, while others saw peaks up to 150 mm. This disparity underscores the localized nature of the event, directly impacting the agro sector in the region.

Local authorities are monitoring the situation to assess damage to crops and infrastructure, though no further details on casualties or specific economic losses were reported at this time.
