Historic, All-Time Cold Hits Argentina

Argentina has been experiencing unprecedented lows this week, with severe frost affecting most regions and shattering several historic temperature records.

In Gualeguaychú, a new all-time low of -7.6C (18.3F) was recorded, surpassing the previous records of -7C (19.4F) set on June 23, 1945, and June 14, 1967 — with data here collected since 1931.

Venado Tuerto set a new monthly record low of -7.5C (18.5F).

Similarly in El Palomar, the monthly minimum record was equaled with a temperature of -7C (19.4F), tying the July 29, 2007 record — data since 1935.

Additionally, the Observatory Central Buenos Aires posted a temperature below 2C (35.6F) —at 11 p.m. on July 9— a rare occurrence not seen since 2007.

Minimum temperatures in Junín are also nearing the all-time record set in 1967.

While back in mid-June, Rio Gallegos logged -17.4C (0.7F), its coldest temperature recorded in the past 42 years and the fourth lowest in its historical records since 1956.

The snows have been just as impressive as the lows, more so even, with tremendous accumulations hitting both Argentina and Chile.

Snowfall records have been falling, with South America's overall cover riding incredibly and consistently high.
