Snow occurs in Brazil virtually every year in some cities of the high plains of the southern states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. They account for approximately and are the coldest cities in the country, where snow can happen when polar air masses reach the region: São Joaquim, Urubici, Urupema and São José dos Ausentes, among other cities such as Bom Jesus, Bom Jardim da Serra and Cambará do Sul.〔(Os melhores lugares para ver neve no Brasil )〕〔(Brasil tem neve pela primeira vez no ano )〕 In 7 August 1879, the greatest snowfall ever recorded in Brazil happened in Vacaria, with more than 2 meters of accumulated snow.〔(Especial A Neve e os gaúchos ) Zero Hora, visto em 03/08/2011.〕 .〔()〕 Snowfalls like this are extremely rare in Brazil, the three below being the only ones that reached(or passed) 1 meter: * 7 August 1879, in Vacaria, Rio Grande do Sul, with 2 meters of snow. * 20 July 1957, in São Joaquim, Santa Catarina, with 1,30 meters of snow. Many times mentioned as the greatest snowfall in Brazil, due to the remote time of Vacaria's snowfall, in 1879.〔 (Maior nevasca da história do Brasil faz 50 anos ) Overmundo, 23 de julho de 2007.〕 * 15 June 1985, in Itatiaia, Rio de Janeiro. 1 meter of snow.〔(Parque Nacional do Itatiaia )〕 Although snow in Brazil is normally reserved only to high elevation areas, there are also many reports of snow precipitation in low elevation locations such as Ijuí〔http://www.metsul.com/secoes/visualiza.php?cod_subsecao=32&cod_texto=208〕 and Porto Alegre〔http://www.metsul.com/secoes/visualiza.php?cod_subsecao=32&cod_texto=201〕 (330 meters and 10 meters above sea level, respectively). Besides these two states, snow precipitation also occurs in Paraná, and more rarely in São Paulo (last time in Apiaí in 1975〔http://www.apiai.sp.gov.br/index.php/pontos-turisticos〕〔http://apiaiportaldamataatlantica.blogspot.com/2009/10/neve-em-apiai-1975.html〕) and Rio de Janeiro (last time at Itatiaia, at the Pico das Agulhas Negras, in 1985),〔http://www.jcom.com.br/pesquisahistorica/leitura/134022〕 thus making five states with snow precipitation reported in the country.〔(Neve em Itatiaia )〕〔(Neve no Rio de Janeiro )〕 The city of São Paulo has witnessed a phenomenon very similar to the precipitation of snow, the sublimation fog on June 26, 1918.〔(Climatempo - Sublimação de nevoeiro em 1918 )〕 At the time, the water network froze in the city. The phenomenon occurs mainly during the months of June, July and August. In this period, São Joaquim receives an average of 13,000 visitors from other parts of Brazil.〔(Com neve, São Joaquim/SC espera aumento no número de turistas )〕 ==See also== *Climate of Brazil *Morro da Igreja *Lapse rate - About the rate of decrease of temperature with altitude. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Snow in Brazil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
