Recorded drop in temperatures observed in Minas Gerais, Brazil; location unveiled
In a surprising turn of events, several cities across Brazil have been experiencing unusually low temperatures, with some areas even dipping below the freezing point. According to the latest data, Belo Horizonte is expected to see temperatures rise throughout the day, potentially reaching close to 30°C, a stark contrast to the current cold snap.
The municipalities of Major Vieira, Santa Catarina, and Rancharia, São Paulo, have been included in the ranking of the lowest temperatures in Brazil. In these areas, the temperatures have been hovering below 10°C, with Major Vieira, Santa Catarina, São Mateus do Sul, Paraná, Rancharia, São Paulo, and Belo Horizonte all recording temperatures below 32°F.
The city of Belo Horizonte experienced negative perceived temperatures in its highest points on Wednesday, August 13th, a rare occurrence for the city. Meanwhile, the municipality of São Mateus do Sul, Paraná, recorded the second lowest temperature in Brazil over the past 24 hours, with -0.2°C.
Interestingly, the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) released data at 8 am on Wednesday, August 13th, stating that the Monte Verde district in South Minas Gerais recorded the lowest temperature in Brazil over the past 24 hours, with -0.3°C.
While the current cold wave is causing a stir, it's important to remember that the coldest temperatures in Brazil are historically found in the southern states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. High-altitude areas in these regions can experience frost and subzero temperatures on rare occasions during the austral winter (June–August). The town of Bom Jardim da Serra in Santa Catarina has reported some of the coldest temperatures, below -10°C (14°F), occasionally nearing -17.8°C (0°F).
For those seeking precise historical lowest temperature records with dates and verified official sources, consulting Brazilian meteorological agencies like INMET would be recommended. The search results provided do not detail these historical minimums, focusing instead on recent local temperature data.
