Questions & Answers about Recibí un aviso en mi teléfono sobre el clima extremo.

What does aviso mean in this context?

Here aviso means “notification” or “alert” – a message you receive to inform you about something. It’s less urgent than alerta, which often signals immediate danger, but more formal than mensaje, which is any kind of message.

What tense is recibí and why is it used here?

recibí is the preterite (simple past) form of recibir for yo. It’s used to state a completed action in the past: “I received an alert.”

Why do we say en mi teléfono and not en mi móvil or en mi celular?

All three—teléfono, móvil, and celular—can be used to mean “phone” in Latin America, but teléfono is the most neutral and widely understood. móvil is common in Spain, and celular in parts of Latin America (especially Mexico).

What role does the preposition sobre play in this sentence?

sobre means “about” or “regarding.” It introduces the topic of the notice: sobre el clima extremo = “about extreme weather.” You could also say aviso de clima extremo, but de shifts the nuance toward “origin” or “type” of notice rather than its topic.
