Possibility of snow in some areas
Rio Grande do Sul has issued a warning about the possibility of frost and negative temperatures “in various regions” of the state between Wednesday (13th) and Saturday (16th).
Temperatures became negative in several areas of the State, as in the Campaign, the Missions and the Serra Gaúcha. There is the possibility of snow in some places. According to residents of the interior of the state, in the Pampas region, where there is intense agricultural activity, people are frightened by the sudden variations in the climate and the ferocity of events.
This comes less than two days after several tornadoes devastated several cities in Rio Grande do Sul, leaving two fatal victims and thousands of dead animals, fallen wagons and destroyed houses and cars, where up until then temperatures had been in the 28 degree range at night.
