What are the forecasts for snow in Santa Catarina in November?
Although there is no historical record of snow in Santa Catarina during the month of November, the Epagri/Ciram predicted that there is a possibility of snow, according to a report issued on October 26 from 2022. According to the organ, the tendency is for there to be snow between the second and third days of November, when temperatures in the region will vary between 0 °C or below zero. Frost is also expected at dawn.
What phenomena are related to this meteorological picture?
Between October 30th and 31st, a cold front will move across Santa Catarina, related to an extratropical cyclone formed on the southern coast of Brazil. Consequently, rains and thunderstorms with hail will be observed in the region. Soon after, on November 1st, a strong mass of cold air of polar origin is expected to advance through the state. This, in turn, will lower temperatures even further.
What historical records can be broken?
The cold air mass of polar origin does not usually reach Brazil at this time of year. Therefore, the cold will be enhanced in Santa Catarina and may reach unprecedented milestones. Comparing with 2013, the year in which more snow was recorded in Santa Catarina, 96 municipalities had some snow record – and it may be that this milestone will be updated in November 2022. The lowest November temperature ever recorded was -1.5 °C on November 5, 1992.
