Paraná records a new cold record with -4.8°C and frost for the 2nd day in a row; horse with wool ‘blouse’ goes viral
The state of Paraná marked a new historic low temperature for the year this Thursday (25), with a record of -4.8°C in General Carneiro, in the southern region. According to data from the Environmental Technology and Monitoring System (Simepar), the thermal sensation in the location reached an impressive -6.3°C.
The previous day, Wednesday (24), General Carneiro had already experienced an intense cold, with thermometers reading -3°C and a thermal sensation estimated at -8.4°C. The previous record in 2026, for the first week of winter, belonged to Guarapuava, which recorded -2.4°C on May 11, with a thermal sensation of -7.5°C.
Extremely low temperatures caused frosts in several areas of the state, generating visible impacts. In the metropolitan region of Curitiba, the strength of the ice was such that lettuce crops even froze. In Umuarama, in the northwest of Paraná, concern for animal welfare led residents to dress a horse in a woolen sweater.

Among the 58 meteorological stations monitored by Simepar and the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) in Paraná, ten municipalities had temperatures below 0°C this Thursday (25). The list includes General Carneiro (-4.8°C), Palmas (-3.5°C), Pinhão (-1.5°C), Guarapuava (-1.4°C), Francisco Beltrão (-1.2°C), Palotina (-0.9°C), General Carneiro (-0.8°C), União da Vitória (-0.2°C) and Lapa (-0.1°C).
