This new article "It’s midwinter, but it’s over 100 degrees in South America" by @ianlivingston is unsettling. Some choice quotations:
"Temperatures Tuesday rose past 95 degrees (35 Celsius) in numerous locations, including at elevations of about 3,500 to 4,500 feet in the Andes foothills."
"Some places have even reached all-time maximums — surpassing summer temperatures, even though it is winter."
"Temperatures in the afternoon reached 40 to 45 degrees above normal (22 to 25 Celsius) for the date, and in some cases a bit more"
