Violent thunderstorms and torrential downpours were the story of the third week of March, especially of Tuesday, March 12, when more rain (125 milimetres) fell than the average total for the entire month of March. Flooded streets, traffic chaos and flight delays or cancellations formed part of the urban damage (with at least two deaths in Buenos Aires Province) with mixed rural results – an elevated water table after last year’s drought, but some crops obliterated by hailstorms. There were over 80 flight delays or cancellations at Aeroparque and Ezeiza International Airports, all but five at the former.
