Chile and Argentina Face Extreme Cold as Polar Anticyclone Grips Region
Santiago, Chile / Buenos Aires, Argentina – July 3, 2025 – Much of Chile and Argentina are experiencing an unusually severe cold snap, with temperatures plummeting to historic lows as a powerful polar anticyclone settles over the region. This frigid weather event, described by meteorologists as a significant atmospheric phenomenon, has transformed parts of the continent into some of the coldest places on Earth.
The phenomenon, driven by an intensified polar anticyclone, has brought freezing temperatures, heavy snowfall, and icy conditions to areas not accustomed to such extreme weather. Reports from the southern tip of South America indicate that temperatures have dropped drastically, affecting daily life, agriculture, and natural ecosystems.
In Chile, regions known for their mild climates are now grappling with blizzard-like conditions. Roads have become hazardous, and authorities have issued advisories urging residents to stay indoors and take necessary precautions. The impact on local communities, particularly those in more remote and higher-altitude areas, is being closely monitored. Efforts are underway to ensure the safety and well-being of affected populations, including the provision of essential supplies and emergency services.
Similarly, Argentina is facing the brunt of this cold wave. The vast plains and populated centers are experiencing a sharp decline in temperatures, with forecasts indicating a prolonged period of frigid weather. The agricultural sector, a cornerstone of the Argentine economy, is particularly vulnerable. Farmers are working diligently to protect their crops and livestock from the harsh conditions, facing potential losses due to frost and freezing temperatures.
While cold snaps are not uncommon in these regions, the intensity and duration of the current event are noteworthy. Meteorologists are attributing this extreme cold to the unusual strength and position of the polar anticyclone, a large-scale, high-pressure system characterized by sinking air and clear, cold weather. When this system becomes particularly dominant and extends its influence further north than usual, it can bring exceptionally cold air masses to lower latitudes.
The United Nations, through its various agencies involved in climate and disaster management, is closely observing the situation. The focus remains on providing support and coordinating efforts with national authorities to mitigate the impacts of this extreme weather event. As the region braces for continued cold, the resilience of its people and communities will be put to the test. Further updates on the unfolding situation and any potential assistance measures will be provided as they become available.
