Inumet warned of strong storms in Uruguay, starting on the west coast and moving eastward. Agricultural damages have been reported in Río Negro, particularly to soybean and corn crops, and winds have caused structural damage, such as the loss of roofs in Tres Bocas. Severe weather conditions, including hail and strong winds, are anticipated today.
The Uruguayan Institute of Meteorology (Inumet) issued a warning on Friday about the likelihood of strong storms bringing heavy rainfall. These weather conditions are anticipated to begin in the west coast and gradually move toward the northern, central, and eastern regions of the country.
Recent reports indicate that on the previous day, the department of Río Negro experienced significant agricultural damage, impacting various establishments adversely. The destruction included soybean and corn crops as well as agricultural machinery and storage sheds due to severe hailstorms.
In Tres Bocas, high winds caused the local police station to lose its roof. Inumet has reported that areas experiencing storms can expect very strong wind gusts, hail, electrical activity, and heavy precipitation today.
The storms affecting Uruguay, as forecasted by Inumet, have already caused severe damage in Río Negro, notably to agriculture. With further storms expected to bring dangerous conditions across various regions, vigilance and preparedness are essential for residents and local authorities.
