Snow was recorded in cities such as Pelotas, São Francisco de Paula, Gramado, Carlos Barbosa, Bagé, Herval, Piratini, Caxias do Sul, Marau and Farroupilha, it was reported.
The wave of cold air that passes through southern Brazil brought snow to at least 13 cities in Rio Grande do Sul, in addition to frozen rain.
According to Somar Meteorologia, there was snowfall in Pelotas, São Francisco de Paula, Gramado, Carlos Barbosa, Bagé, Herval, Piratini, Caxias do Sul, Marau and Farroupilha, where children took to the streets to celebrate and build up snowmen, which are very foreign to the area.
Comment: Northern Argentina and Uruguay also experienced this rare snowfall:
In the last few hours, snowfall has been occurring in places where it is unusual for this type of weather to appear.

Myanmar's Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH) reported heavy rain from 25 July. Mawlamyine in Mon State recorded 553 mm of rain in 48 hours to 27 July.
In a 24 hour period to 27 July, areas of Rakhine State saw particularly heavy rain, including Maungdaw (243 mm) Kyaukpyu (242 mm) and Thandwe (388 mm). Neighbouring parts of Bangladesh also saw heavy rain during this time, resulting in floods and landslides in Cox's Bazar District.
According to the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on disaster management (AHA Centre) as many as 48,500 people have been affected or displaced by the floods across the 3 states.
Smoke and flames rise after a forest fire broke out
Efforts to rescue 10 stranded people near the resort city of Antalya were ongoing, the country's AFAD disaster agency said.
More than 100 other people had to be evacuated, required medical treatment or suffered damage to property as a result of the fire.
Firefighters battle a wildfire in Dionysos, north east of Athens, on July 27, 2021.
The fire, which started on Tuesday morning, is "out of control," Dionysos mayor Yannis Kalafatelis told Greek radio.
The town located about 30 kilometres northeast of Athens is among those affected, along with neighbouring Stamata and Rodopoli.
74 firefighters were deployed on the ground to try and contain the fire, which sent smoke over Athens.
Five water-dropping planes and five helicopters were being used to fight the blaze.
Flow rates on the river during the flooding on the West Coast earlier this month were more than 10 times the usual rates, scientists found.
Niwa hydrodynamics scientist Richard Measures said records showed even greater flooding of the Buller River in 1926.
"It's not the largest river in New Zealand but it does experience the biggest flood flows," he said. "The flood levels through the Buller Gorge are incredible."
Niwa environmental monitoring technician Mike O'Driscoll used a radar gun from the Westport and Orowaiti bridges to measure the speed of the Buller River at its surface on July 17, the height of the recent floods.

The pair were in a five-strong group by its 3,560ft (1,085m) peak when they were struck just after 13:30 BST.
Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team was called out by North Wales Police to help rescue them.
The team said one woman "was falling in and out of consciousness", while the other had minor injuries.

The shallow quake hit 56 miles (91 kilometers) southeast of the town of Perryville, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said, with a tsunami warning in effect for south Alaska and the Alaskan peninsula.
The US government issued a tsunami warning for Alaska's southeast, while authorities in Hawaii also issued a tsunami watch.
'Hazardous tsunami waves for this earthquake are possible within the next three hours along some coasts,' the US Tsunami Warning System said in a statement.
Perryville is a small village about 500 miles from Anchorage, Alaska's biggest city.
An emergency alert sent to people's phones read: 'The National Weather Service has issued a TSUNAMI WARNING.
'A series of powerful waves and strong currents may impact coasts near you. You are in danger. Get away from coastal waters. Move to high ground or inland now. Keep away from the coast until local officials say it is safe to return.'
Comment: No tsunami but it was the strongest felt in the state since the 1964 event described above.
And this may herald the arrival of a cluster of strong quakes elsewhere.

Hot weather and strong winds have descended upon the country's northern province of Akkar, fueling multiple wildlife fires. On Wednesday, a massive wildfire broke out close to the town of Qoubayat, the largest Christian settlement in the region.
Footage from the scene shows the flames spreading extremely rapidly across wooded mountains, consuming iconic Lebanese pine forests. The blaze quickly approached the town, as well as other villages in the area.

The reason for this intervention, which has come after the resignation of an agriculture minister and against the wishes of some farmers and exporters, is a severe drought in much of the west of the country. Following on from a dry winter, it has lasted for months and already inflicted great damage to pastures, the livestock depending on them, and the communities who, in turn, need the livestock.
Comment: Rather tellingly, albeit unsurprisingly, the author forgets to mention the record breaking cold temperatures that are occurring with an increasing frequency across the planet; and, in failing to include them, he avoids having to explain why they were not predicted, nor can they be explained, by the much debunked theory of global warming for which he seems to show a preference.
That said, extreme weather of all kinds is on the rise, and it does pose a threat to life on our planet, but the drivers behind cyclical climate change are much greater than 'human emissions':
