What is the National Meteorological Service and how does it work

The National Meteorological Service (SMN) is the official body responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating meteorological information across the country.

The SMN operates through a network of weather stations distributed throughout the country, while also using satellite imagery and numerical prediction models.

What is a meteorological alert in Mar del Plata

The agency itself refers to an alert as "the possible occurrence of a meteorological threat," which it issues with the aim of supporting decision-making across all sectors of the population. They are generally issued 24, 48, or 72 hours before the event. On the other hand, very short-term advisories (ACP) urge the population to take action quickly, as the phenomenon may occur just minutes after their issuance.

An alert may be issued in situations involving rain or storms, or in the face of extreme temperatures or phenomena that deviate from usual conditions.

What is a yellow alert

These are possible meteorological phenomena with the capacity to cause damage and risk of momentary disruption to daily activities, according to the SMN.

In the case of high temperatures, the yellow level indicates that they may be dangerous, especially for at-risk groups, such as children, people over 65 years of age, and those with chronic illnesses.

What is an orange alert

This warning indicates that meteorological phenomena dangerous to society, life, property, and the environment are expected. In this case, temperatures may be very dangerous, especially for at-risk groups.

What is a red alert

The agency's website warns of "exceptional meteorological phenomena with the potential to cause emergencies or disasters."

In this type of alert, temperatures are "very dangerous and can affect all people, even healthy individuals."
