In the Santiago metropolitan area, snowfall was observed on Tuesday. The authorities advised people to dress appropriately for the weather and drive carefully. Locals protected themselves from the rare snowfall with umbrellas, according to reports from Reuters. The capital city of Santiago experiences seasons opposite to those in Europe due to its location in the southern hemisphere.
The country’s climate can lead to unique weather patterns and events such as rare snowfall in Santiago. While snowfall is not unheard of in the city, it is considered unusual. In July 2020, snow was reported in the eastern part of the city, and in July 2017, the capital region was covered in a blanket of snow. Due to the snowy weather, energy consumption in households has been affected, with up to 225,000 people experiencing issues with electricity.
It is important for residents to take precautions and adapt to the changing weather conditions to ensure their safety and well-being. As such, authorities have urged people to dress according to the weather and drive carefully during this rare snowfall event.
