Last Updated: 2026/02/25, According to a report by the Brazilian Meteorological Department on August 9, a new wave of cold air has formed in southern Brazil, and the highest temperature in some state capital cities is expected to drop by 14°C in the next few days. This polar cold air has moved southeast. Since Brazil is drier and hotter this year than before, this time the cold air is the first this year.

According to a report by the Brazilian Meteorological Department on August 9, a new wave of cold air has formed in southern Brazil, and the highest temperature in some state capital cities is expected to drop by 14°C in the next few days. This polar cold air has moved southeast. Since Brazil is drier and hotter this year than before, this cold air is the first cold peak to cover all states in the central, western and southeastern regions this year.

Currently, according to data from the National Meteorological Institute of Brazil, temperature changes have appeared in the southern and southwestern states of Mato Grosso and the southern and southeastern states of São Paulo, and have moved to other central and western states, the rest of São Paulo state, Rio de Janeiro state and Miras. The state of Giras is advancing. This cold air will cover most parts of Brazil, and even parts of the north will be affected. Moreover, this cold air will be strong, causing temperatures to drop in most parts of Brazil.

In some states, the temperature drop will be large. For example, in Paraná, the minimum temperature in some areas may drop to 2°C, while in some areas of São Paulo may drop to 6°C, and the temperature in mountainous areas may be even lower. And these states may set records for the lowest temperatures.

In addition, Brazil's National Meteorological Institute warned that a downward trend of frost appears as cold and dry air advances, which increases the possibility of winter rainfall in the south and southeast.

Currently, frost is likely to occur in the central and southern parts of Mato Grosso do Sul in southern Brazil, most areas of São Paulo State, parts of Minas State and mountainous areas of Rio de Janeiro. In addition, local snowfall may occur in the mountainous areas of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.

Earlier, Brazil reported that due to drought, production was not expected. Currently, Brazil is worried about the upcoming return of La Niña weather. According to data from the meteorological department, the water temperature in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific continues to drop, and this cooling trend continues to decline. The decline continues for several months, so the La Niña phenomenon has become stronger and will appear as soon as mid-to-late August.

The return of La Niña will intensify severe weather in southeastern Brazil, reduce rainfall and drop temperatures, and the frost situation in Brazil will become more serious. Southeast Brazil is Brazil's main coffee-producing area, so the possibility of falling temperatures and frosts will seriously damage Brazil's coffee production and quality.

Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer and exporter, soared coffee futures prices in Arabica and Robusta after Brazil reported news of a frost. In addition, the International Coffee Organization also released its July coffee report, saying that the coffee price index in July has increased by 48.9% compared with the same period last year. Even though the number of coffee exports increased by 3.8% compared with the same period last year, the price is still high. At present, coffee production in many countries is still not optimistic. Coupled with the impact of the upcoming La Niña phenomenon, prices are likely to rise further.
