On the morning of this Friday, the 14th, the city of Rio de Janeiro dawned with a climate completely different from the previous days.

The weather was cloudy and mild, completely different from the hot and sunny atmosphere that had prevailed in the previous days. In addition, the sea was experiencing a strong undertow, alerting the local population.

These climate changes are attributed to the arrival of a cold front that has settled in some regions of the country. According to data released by the Alerta Rio System, thermometers recorded 15 °C early in the morning, in the Alto da Boa Vista neighborhood.

However, Rio de Janeiro was not the only place affected by the drastic drop in temperature. Other regions, such as Bagé, in Rio Grande do Sul, and São Mateus do Sul, in Paraná, recorded only 2 °C.

Novo Horizonte, in Santa Catarina, also had a significant drop, reaching 2.7 °C.
