The city of Rio de Janeiro recorded the lowest temperature of the year early this Sunday morning (11). Thermometers marked 10.3°C at 5:45 am, at the Alto da Boa Vista station, in Guanabara Bay (RJ).

According to the Rio City Hall’s meteorological department, the Alerta Rio System, the passage of a polar mass was responsible for the low temperatures recorded this morning.

“The lowest temperatures in the Alerta Rio System network are generally recorded at the Alto da Boa Vista station, due to its location and the physical characteristics of the region, such as altitude, which contribute to the occurrence of the lowest temperatures in this location,” explained meteorologist Mayara Villela.
