With the coming winter, broad swathes of the country were shivering throughout mid-June with the Weather Bureau issuing a series of yellow alerts for nine provinces apart from this city. While low temperatures in mid-June are far from unprecedented, the list of provinces affected by the yellow alerts marked a surprising variation from past experience when a windswept Patagonia always took the lead – it read Buenos Aires (especially the Atlantic coast), Chaco, Corrientes, Entre Ríos, Formosa, Jujuy, Salta, Santa Fe and Santiago del Estero. A yellow alert defines risk groups as children, people aged over 65 and the chronically ill.
