Many things have been said about global warming. Climate change, storms, melting glaciers and more of a series of weather phenomena that were previously rare, may become more and more frequent.

I live in São Paulo State, in the central south region of Brazil. It has a pleasant climate, perhaps that’s why millions of Italians, Japanese, German, Portuguese and Spanish have been installed there at the beginning of the last century
.
But lately, I have noticed some “strange” things. My town was hit by a tornado three years ago (and recently was almost hit again). Another city in this state registered a dust storm. Not to mention that the temperatures are completely crazy!

A month ago, I came to pass badly due to heat, as the temperature reached 40 C. I could not eat, could not work and lost a few pounds (no, I am not being exaggerated, anyone who accompanies me on Instablogs realized that I simply “vanished” for three weeks).

While the heat was literally killing me little by little, a state close to mine recorded 15 consecutive weeks of torrential rain. So far, 118 people died and over 60 thousand are homeless or displaced. The rivers in the region rose 12 meters above normal, covering entire cities. There are no provisions for the rain to stop before the next year in Santa Catarina state.

Here in São Paulo has rained quite well, but not as in southern Brazil. However, temperatures here are uncontrolled.

In two weeks the summer (I mean Brazilian summer: hot as hell) will come, but there is something strange going on. Last night, I slept with the windows open in my room. The result? Woke up at dawn freezing and the result was that caught a cold. During the night the temperature dropped 14 degrees.

But it’s not just that. In Sao Paulo city was recorded the lowest temperature for the month of December in the last five years. 7 AM the morning of Thursday, the thermometers from Congonhas Airport on the south side of town, recorded only 13 ° C. Since December 25, 2003 Sao Paulo has not recorded a temperature so low. In Campos do Jordao the minimum reached 7.3° C.

In southern Brazil, temperatures were even lower, dropping to 3 C.

Please, could someone explain me what’s going on? I promise I’ll give to the best answer an Aston Martin!
