When it's freezing over there, the cold air remais there and the hot air from the Equator heats here. When it's only cold, the cold air advances over South America.
For example, in 2004, the coldest day in the year was - as expected - in August. 10 days latter, we had the _hottest_ day of the year [I don't remember if we had a hotter day after that, but January to March 2004 - our Summer - were _not_ hot months] Alberto Monteiro _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
