At this point, La Plata residents know that the Christmas Eve table will be indoors this time. The reason? The National Weather Service (SMN) yellow warning for strong afternoon storms and overnight storms.
At the same time, it will be very hot on Wednesday with temperatures between 19 °C and 33 °C.
The yellow warning means that “the area will be affected by storms of varying intensity, some locally strong.” “They will be accompanied by frequent electrical activity, occasional hail and abundant waterfalls in short periods.”
“Cumulative rainfall values between 30 and 60 mm are expected, which may occasionally be exceeded. It should be noted that during storms, gusts can reach up to 80 km/h,” it said.

For tomorrow, Thursday, Christmas Day, the SMN forecast isolated storms early in the morning and mostly cloudy skies in the morning, while improvements in partly cloudy skies are expected in the afternoon. The temperatures are between 17 and 29 degrees.
Meanwhile, an improved weekend is expected for Friday, with sunshine, light winds and a minimum temperature of 19°C and a maximum of 31°C expected.
