A decrease in the river is expected by mid-June (Municipality of Paraná)
He National Water Institute (INA) announced that a decrease in the height level of the Parana River from next week. The last record indicated that the depth was 2.37 meters in the port of Parana, Between rivers However, throughout June the decrease is expected to be almost 70 centimeters.
In recent months, the rains that were recorded in part of the northeast and the Pampas region contributed to the growth of the basin. However, the outlook would begin to change this month after a report from the INA indicated that by June 11 the height could drop to 1.71 meters.
“The levels are in the range of medium low waters with a gradual rise,” the specialists explained, adding that the decrease would also occur in the Uruguay River, which suffered an overflow as a result of the current that arrived from the south of Brazil a few years ago. weeks ago.
Even though that him National Meteorological Service (SMN) predicted a day of rain for this Sunday in the capital of Entre Ríos, from the INA they assured that “for the next 5 days no significant precipitation is expected in the basin or with associated hydrological impact.” Likewise, the meteorological organization confirmed that this week there will be mostly cloudy weather and average temperatures that will rise as the days go by.

In fact, the registration carried out by the naval Prefecture in Paraná confirmed these data by reporting that the maximum height level this month was 3.39 meters, which was recorded between May 15 and 17. From that moment on, there was a sharp decline that closed at 2.37 meters on May 31.
On the other hand, the authorities stressed that the decrease will also occur in the northern area of the river, despite the fact that in the ports of Itatí, Paso de la Patria, Corrientes, Barranqueras, Empedrado and Bella Vista there was a slight growth during Saturday. “It is expected that it will be observed oscillating/stable or with a very slight decrease in base in Corrientes,” the INA mentioned when arguing that the tributary of the area will be affected by the descent of the Paraguay River.
“The effect will probably be more attenuated downstream, with a more noticeable base decrease and smaller amplitudes as progress is made on the route to Rosario, where the base trend towards medium-low waters prevails,” they noted, noting that the most affected will be the missionary ports, Entre Rios, Santa Fe and Buenos Aires.

In parallel, the SMN announced that the winter quarter (June, July and August) will be accompanied by a low probability of rain developing in the Pampas region and northeastern Argentina. According to the quarterly forecast, authorities reported that the probability index will be “normal or below normal,” although in the provinces of Corrientes and Misiones it is expected to be “lower than normal.”
However, the specialists stressed that “the influence of the large-scale forcing of the El Niño phenomenon will be weakened, so sub-seasonal and synoptic variations may predominate during this winter.” For this reason, they recommended staying informed about climate variations on a daily and/or weekly level.
In the same way, they announced that winter will be colder than expected for this period of the year in the Pampas region. In the case of Corrientes and Misiones, the opposite situation would occur, because the temperature would be “normal or higher than normal.” In addition, they highlighted that the report did not consider the development of phenomena such as heat or cold waves, the intensity of frontal systems, atmospheric blockages or other conditions that could occur, since these are usually short-lived.
