Weather in Brazil 2023
« on: June 29, 2020, 05:55:53 PM »
The UN's weather agency announced Thursday the longest lightning bolt on record—a single flash in Brazil on October 31, 2018 that cut the sky across more than 700 kilometers.


That is equivalent to the distance between Boston and Washington DC in the United States, or between London and Basel, Switzerland, the World Meteorological Organization said in a statement.

Brazil – Historical cold three days in a row
« Reply #2 on: August 16, 2020, 09:26:35 AM »
The month of August continues to surprise mainly for those who like very cold, as it registered frosts in negative temperatures every day of this month.

In South Brazil High Mountains (Serra Catarinense) registers historical cold (record cold) with three consecutive days at the -8º mark.

In Bom Jardim da Serra the Keizer stations network scored -8.8°C.

In fact Serra Catarinense has been registering negative temperatures since June 29th consecutively.

“Intense cold in the coldest cities of the Serra Catarinense like São Joaquim, Bom Jardim, Urupema.”

Record cold in Brazil

Significant loss in the harvest
___________

Cold record in November in ‘Serra Catarinense’, South Brazil.

Thursday, November 5th, marked a record of cold in the Serra Catarinense in the city of Urupema with a temperature of – 3.1°C.

Frost has been recorded in many cities in Santa Catarina, from the west to the Serra Catarinense (High Mountains).

In different parts of São Joaquim-SC, apple and grape producers attempted to defend themselves by making fires around the orchards, but in many places like ‘Vale da Invernadinha’ about 10 km from the city center, the producers did not have as much luck, because the frost hit the small fruits in full and caused significant loss in the harvest.


 
That was the 120th frost in 2020 and with 77 days of negative marks in Santa Catarina. 4 Days with snow and 2 days with icicles.

Minimum temperatures

-3.1 Urupema *
(-2.9 Urupema ** / Record)
-1.7 S.Joaquim *
-1.7 B.Garden *
-1.3 Urubici *
-1.3 Panel / G.Hugen
-0.9 Vargem Bonita *
0.7 Bom Retiro **

Brazil – Damaging Floods in São Paulo State After 130mm of Rain in 1 Hour
« Reply #5 on: December 04, 2020, 07:06:02 AM »
Flooding struck after a short period of torrential rainfall. According to the São Carlos government, 138mm of rain fell between in just over 1 hour, which is more than the November monthly average.

The force of the floods was so strong that it dragged 37 vehicles along city streets. Around 40 homes were also damaged and three houses completely destroyed. However there were no reports of fatalities as of 28 November. The state government said that around 130 businesses had suffered severe damaged. A state of emergency has been declared for the city.

Record cold is engulfing large swathes of the South American continent this week, ravaging the region’s crops, lowering yields and spiking prices.

Thanks to a powerful Antarctic air mass, nations such as Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, and BRAZIL are suffering an extreme and unprecedented chill, with historic snowfall to match.

Heavy frosts have been reported in Brazil’s sugarcane, coffee and corn fields.

The country registered extremely low temperatures on Wednesday, June 30, according to analysts and weather agencies — all the way from the southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul to the northern part of São Paulo.

SOUTH AMERICAN CROPS HEADED FOR CATASTROPHE AS ANTARCTIC BLASTS PERSIST
« Reply #7 on: July 22, 2021, 08:30:54 PM »
South American farmers are bracing for another round of harvest-wrecking polar cold.

A new mass of cold air began buffeting the region Saturday evening, according to Brazil’s National Institute of Meteorology (INMET) — and by Sunday, frost had again ravaged the midwest and southwest of Rio Grande do Sul, west of Santa Catarina, and south of Parana.

During the past two decades, Brazilian farmers have gotten used to “double-cropping” soybeans and corn.

This is the main reason Brazil has risen to become the main competitor to U.S. exports for both crops — double-cropping has allowed the country to efficiently use its unique climate to increase annual yields.

However, the window is tight.

And, as you’d expect, the Grand Solar Minimum appears to be closing that window.

Like most tropical locales, Brazil has a distinct wet and dry season. Over the past few decades, the wet season has lasted roughly September to May, allowing a good soybean crop in the spring and summer, followed by a good front-half to the corn season before turning drier.

OUT-OF-SEASON CYCLONE DRIVES ANTARCTIC AIR INTO BRAZIL
« Reply #8 on: May 24, 2022, 06:06:38 PM »
https://electroverse.net/record-may-snow-headed-for-denver-seattle-and-others-rare-cyclone-drives-antarctic-air-unusually-far-north-into-brazil/

Checking with developments in South America, anomalous polar cold continues to threaten the harvests down there, too.

A rare late cyclone between Uruguay and Southeast Brazil is currently driving Antarctic air exceptionally far north, much further than meteorologists had originally expected.

Scattered snow fell across the Highlands of SE Brazil (even below 1,000 m)–a rare feat for this time of year; while incredibly low temperatures have also swept many locales, including the -9.8C (14.3F) suffered in Villa Reynolds, Argentina (just 0.4C off May’s all-time record low), plus the record-breaking -0.9C (30.4F) at Prats Gill, Paraguay which resulted in incredibly rare May frosts.

Looking ahead, further chills are on the cards:

« Reply #9 on: December 02, 2022, 07:09:57 AM »
Unseasonable frosts returned to parts of Brazil on Friday, November 25, according to the country’s INMET network.

Vale do Caminhos da Neve, located 3 km from the center of São Joaquim, was covered by layer of ice.



[Mycchel Legnaghi]

This made it frost number 140 for the year, which is an all-time record, surpassing the 135 registered in 2016.

ONE OF THE EARLIEST SNOWFALLS EVER RECORDED IN BRAZIL
« Reply #10 on: April 25, 2023, 05:28:16 PM »
Last night, Brazil witnessed an early taste of winter.

Exceptionally-rare April snow hit the highlands of Santa Catarina do Sul at Bom Jardim da Serra (3280 ft asl).

According to meteorologists, “this is one of the earliest snowfalls ever recorded in Brazil”.

Temperatures have also crashed, with daytime highs across the Brazilian highlands holding below 10C (50F) — record-breaking.

Reports are currently thin on the ground where this news is concerned — more to come, soon…

BRAZILIAN CATTLE FREEZE TO DEATH
« Reply #11 on: July 02, 2023, 07:18:52 PM »

At least 3,000 head of cattle have died of hypothermia in Brazil’s Mato Grosso do Sul state, according to reports on the state’s veterinary service website.

Hard frosts swept the region this week, plunging temperatures well-below the seasonal average.

But although cold, the deaths have drawn attention as they are highly uncommon.

Alcides Torres, owner of agribusiness consultancy Scot Consultoria, said local cattle breeds should withstand the low temperatures suffered of late, “Brazil exports live cattle for slaughtering in Turkey below snow,” he pointed out.

“It was the cold but there was something else, too.”

The death tally was noted by the Mato Grosso do Sul veterinary services, which have not replied for comment.
