Cold air will continue plaguing Brazil into the weekend. Temperatures are expected to continue to fall in the coming days and more snow could be on the way, according to Inmet, Brazil’s meteorological institute.
It adds to the series of bizarre weather events around the world in recent weeks, including a rash of wildfires from Siberia to California and ripples of extreme heat across the northern hemisphere. As always, one cold snap doesn’t disprove the planet is overheating (and in fact, northern hemisphere cold snaps could become more common because of the climate crisis).
