"Record-Breaking Cold and Snow Sweep South America"

"While the leftist-biased media  ... revels in the unprecedented heat lingering over the NW U.S./SW Canada, a far-more widespread temperature anomaly is currently engulfing a part of our planet: in South America.

Anomalous bursts of heat are always possible during low solar activity — we have explained this phenomenon many times before:

A reduction in solar output weakens the jet streams.

This loss of energy changes their flow from a straight ZONAL flow to a wavy MERIDIONAL one, which then, in turn,

and depending on which side of the jet you’re on, either pulls Tropical heat unusually-far north, or drags polar cold anomalously-far south (click the link below for more).

And while states like Washington and provinces such as British Columbia are feeling the affects of being under a violently kinking jet stream flow, it is a different story across the rest of the United States.

Central regions are currently residing above the jet stream flow, and are so open to an usual summer chill as polar air gets dragged anomalously-far south.

Record Cold and Snow Sweep South America

While vast areas of anomalous cold are peppering our planet –such as in the central plains of the United States, northern Canada, and central Russia– outside of Antarctica there is no area experiencing such a chilly departure from the norm as the South American continent.

Thanks to a powerful Antarctic air mass, nations such as Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Brazil are suffering an extreme and unprecedented chill, with historic snowfall to match.

As reported by metsul.com, whose primary focus is on Brazil: “One of the strongest polar air masses in recent years is beginning to drop the temperature in Rio Grande do Sul … and the cold will intensify …

The coverage of the polar air mass will be very large in South America, reaching many countries on the continent.”

Metsul goes on to warn that “intense frosts” will continue to impact practically all states in the Center-South of Brazil, in the South, Center-West and Southeast as temperatures plummet further:

“significant damage” is expected to the regions’ agriculture.

Snow is even predicted for southern Brazil, even outside of the country’s high plains — a very rare occurrence.

... The cold spell has also impacted Argentina.

Incredibly rare flakes have been reported in the provinces of Buenos Aires and Santa Fe this week, with the capital’s observatory registered a daily high of just 8.5C (47.3F) on June 27 June, followed by record overnight lows.

Unprecedented cold has invaded much of the 2.78 million km² nation of late.

Below are a few fallen benchmarks from yesterday, June 28 (courtesy of @maxiviale on Twitter):

Mendoza Aero: -4.0C (24.8F)
Mendoza Obs: -4.4C (24F)
Saint Martin: -3.9C (25F)
San Rafael: -6.9C (19.6F)
Malargüe: -11.7C (10.9F)
Uspallata: -10.6C (12.9F)
San Carlos: -7.6C (18.3F)

Argentina’s big freeze has been persisting for weeks.

As I reported on June 17, “heavy snowfall has surprised residents of several areas of the interior of Argentina, including in the city of Córdoba which was blanketed in snow for the first time in 14 years … and only the seventh time in the past 100+ years”:

This is a truly wide-reaching and extensive Antarctica blast.

…yet the leftist-biased media is silent.

They’re happy to pick on some anomalous heat in Siberia, yet sidestep the record cold and snow in S. America.

The obfuscation is clear."
