The National Meteorological Service (SMN) confirmed this Sunday the red alert due to extreme temperatures in much of the province of Neuquén, affected by intense heat since the middle of last month. Look at the details of the areas reached.
Red alert for extreme temperatures in these areas of Neuquén
Although originally the alert also covered departments in the east of the province, it currently reaches, above all, those located in the west and north. Among them are Loncopué, Picunches, Ñorquín, Minas, Chos Malal, and the Aluminé mountain range.
This region remains for a week under extreme temperatures, so its condition under red alert has not changed. As the weekend progresses the temperature will drop to 30° C.
