A powerful polar wave is affecting Argentina's wine country, prompting authorities to suspend afternoon and evening classes across 14 districts. With snowfall, winds reaching 100 km/h, and temperatures dropping to -5°C, students will attend classes virtually through the province's digital education platform.
Mendoza's education authorities confirmed classes will continue as scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, despite an intense polar air mass bringing temperatures as low as -5°C (23°F).
