Brazil to Face Widespread Cold Front, Potential for Snow and Frost

Brazil Braces for Widespread Cold Snap: Heavy Rains and Potential Snow Forecast RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – May 27, 2025 – A major cold front is sweeping across Brazil, bringing with it heavy rains and a significant drop in temperatures. The system, which arrived in the southern region on Tuesday, is expected to intensify throughout the week, with the coldest temperatures predicted for the weekend. Meteorologists warn of potential snow in parts of the south and frost in the southeast and central-west. "When a cold front arrives, it usually causes rain, and after it passes, the high pressure with the cold air mass arrives," explains Fábio Luengo, meteorologist at Climatempo. This means that while some areas are experiencing heavy rainfall now, the most significant temperature drop is expected from Wednesday onwards. The cold front's impact will be widespread, affecting regions from Rio Grande do Sul to parts of the Amazon. In the north, the phenomenon known as 'friagem' is anticipated, characterized by a sharp temperature drop. The peak of the cold wave is expected between Friday and Saturday. Authorities are urging residents to prepare for the cold weather and take necessary precautions. The G1 news portal provides further updates and details on this developing weather event.
