South America's Cold Chaos

Another cold blast has disrupted life across South America, with Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Bolivia, and Paraguay all facing major travel shutdowns, agricultural damage, and public infrastructure strain.

By Tuesday (July 1), airports across Brazil—including São Paulo-Guarulhos, Rio/Galeão, Brasília, and Salvador—had delayed or canceled over 150 flights. Freezing rain, strong winds, and zero visibility grounded operations for LATAM, Azul, GOL, and Aerolíneas Argentinas. Argentina, Chile, and Peru are reporting similar aviation disruptions.

Over the weekend, temperatures plunged 10 to 20C below average across the south. On Sunday, Puerto Natales, Chile, logged -15.7C (3.7F)—a new monthly record, breaking the -12.9C (8.8F) from June, 2024, which itself broke a 1992 record of -12.8C (9F).
