The previous record was only 3 frosts (freezes) in February 2002.
Remember, summer begins on December 21 in Brazil and ends on March 20.
This summer has already seen 12 days of frost, while the summer of 2008/2009 saw 13 days. It's also the seventh frost of 2018, making it the biggest number of frost days for the start of the year in 64 years!
This goes along with the headline: "São Joaquim (SC) without summer."
Record Established! Frost on Caminhos da Neve marks the November with more days of frost in the history of meteorology in the region of São Joaquim
For the first time in history, São Joaquim recorded a cooler November than September in average.

The area of Santa Catarina state mentioned in this article is known to be the coldest in the entire country and this is due to its location to the south of the country and also a very high altitude. São Joaquim, Urupema and other neighboring cities are locatade on an area of mountains and always make the news in the winter when the most unbrazilian thing happens there: it snows.
if the ice age comes, we Brazilians will be glad.
