I can recall vividly the early 60s' cold spell came together with drier weather and southern Brazil had a lot of wild fires.

At the back of our property a stream separated the private properties and the government forest part of the colony that housed the mental hospital which was spread over a big property.

The forest caught fire and burnt for days it was scary, for us kids, a huge fire burning the whole night.

We heard stories of roads closed down southern states as smoke at both sides of roads blocked traffic for days.

In the second half of the 70s, Brazil's coffee plantations got frost and it was no longer economic to keep the coffee plantations as they were old. They pulled them out and coffee cultivation moved up north to a region of Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo states and soy beans started being cultivated in the areas where it used to be coffee plantations.

this was the effect of a 5-year cold spell. I wonder what a 30 year cold spell has in store for people and the economy as a whole.
