Spring arrived in Brazil last Saturday, September 24, leaving behind one of the hottest winters in history. The 12 million people in Sao Paulo had the highest winter temperatures in sixty-two years of recordings.
Known as a place with cold temperatures during winter, Sao Paulo had an average of 85.1 F this winter. These are high winter temperatures, even in the tropics.
