It was an unusually scorching winter day in Buenos Aires Tuesday, with thermometers in Argentina's capital crossing the 30-degree Celsius mark (86 degrees Fahrenheit), the hottest start of August in 117 years of records, according to the country's National Meteorological Service.
Temperatures in the South American country's capital reached 30.1 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, beating the previous record for the first day of August by more than five degrees. The previous hottest Aug. 1 was set in 1942, when temperatures reached 24.6 degrees Celsius .
"We are experiencing very warm conditions in the central and northern regions of Argentina," said Cindy Fernandez, a spokesperson for the National Meteorological Service. "There were values in general that were 10 to 15 degrees above what is normal for this time of year." The record broken Tuesday comes after weeks in which much of Argentina experienced a relatively mild winter.
"The number of cold events we've had this winter has been very few, scarce, and the few times we had cold air outbreaks, they lasted for a very short period," she added.
