The Paraná River stood at 4.42 meters at Reconquista on Thursday, October 15, 2026, according to ReconquistaHOY, which reported the gauge reading rose seven centimeters over the previous 24 hours. La Nación published a daily update on river levels across Argentina the same day, as several outlets reported on flooding along the Paraná and Uruguay rivers.
La Nación reported on critical zones, evacuations and road closures tied to the rising Paraná and Uruguay, and noted dates that officials are watching. Clarín focused on the effects of a "Super El Niño" phenomenon in Corrientes, describing conditions before and after in Paso de los Libres. The Entre Ríos provincial government said it is continuously monitoring the water situation in light of the El Niño phenomenon.
The combined reporting points to a broad stretch of the country's river system under pressure, with authorities in at least one province maintaining active watch and news outlets tracking daily changes at specific gauges. The material available does not specify how many people have been evacuated or which routes remain closed.
Attention now turns to whether the Paraná continues rising at Reconquista and how conditions develop along the Uruguay River in the coming days.
