Snow in July Kills 75,000 Farm Animals in Peru

Peru (HDW) September 11, 2004 - As winter settled over the Southern Hemisphere, South America was been lashed with snow, heavy rain and intense cold, starting in late June 2004. In southern Peru, heavy snow collapsed hundreds of homes and buildings, and killed over 75,000 farm animals. The country struggled to provide emergency provisions to people in the poverty-stricken region, many of whom were treated for cold-related illnesses such as pneumonia. In many mountain regions, the temperature plummeted to -20 Celsius (-4 Fahrenheit). The cold weather also caused deaths in Argentina and Chile. Unusually cold temperatures, down to -7 Celsius (19.4 Fahrenheit), chilled southern Brazil. (full article...)
