Today, Tuesday, although it is another cold morning where some points drop below -5 °C, In general, the increase in the west wind that is beginning to be recorded is the reason that temperatures recover a little.
In the central regionOn the contrary, the wind has decreased compared to Monday, due to the entry of a high pressure system centered early in the morning over the province of Buenos Aires with central pressure close to 1030 hPa.

By the final stretch of the week, the low pressure system that crossed Patagonia will have deepened noticeably in the open waters of the Atlantic, producing a strong current of southern wind from behind that will drive an air mass with polar characteristics from high latitudes towards the center and north of Argentina.
The cold front that will lead this polar advance will begin to arrive in the central area of the country on Friday, producing a marked change in winds to the south with gusts, and a sharp drop in temperatures. In the coastal area of the province of Buenos Aires, moderate intensity rains and showers will be recorded.
Saturday will dawn with very low temperatures in the center and north of Argentina, but Basically, the low thermal sensations will stand out, as a result of the moderate or regular wind that will continue to blow from the south.. For Sunday there will be a probable temporary decrease in wind intensity, and this will help make it another icy dawn in much of Argentina.
