Uruguay’s Institute of Meteorology (Inumet) reported Monday that this year’s was the coldest June in the last 41 years “with a countrywide anomaly of -2.3°C.”

“In average terms and on a countrywide scale, June 2022 registered the lowest anomalies, ranking as the coldest month of the 1981-2022 period,” the agency indicated.
