Will it snow more in the South? See what the weather will be like in the coming days.

A polar air mass once again "painted white" the dawn of Saturday (9) in the Southern Region of Brazil. In Rio Grande do Sul, snowflakes fell over São José dos Ausentes and Cambará do Sul, in Campos de Cima da Serra, where the altitude exceeds a thousand meters. In São José dos Ausentes, thermometers marked 0.4 °C in the early hours of the day, while Cambará do Sul woke up with a minimum of 2.1 °C.

In Santa Catarina, snow was recorded in at least three mountainous municipalities: São Joaquim, Bom Jardim da Serra, and Urupema. According to data from the Santa Catarina Agricultural Research and Rural Extension Company (Epagri), Urupema had a low of -2°C at 6 a.m., and São Joaquim varied between 0°C and -1°C around 5 a.m.

According to MetSul Meteorologia, the snow is caused by the interaction between the circulation of moisture from a low-pressure area in the Atlantic Ocean, east of southern Brazil, and a mass of polar air with a continental trajectory that advances through the interior of the continent.
