> Its not even summer in Brazil yet! They're just coming out of winter, right? > Are there any Brazilians on HN? Of course! As the sibling comment indicated, the region in question is near the equator, where the "winter" versus "summer" distinction is less relevant (though AFAIK it does have "wet" versus "dry" seasons). I live much further south (this country is huge), where seasons are more relevant, and around here we're leaving an abnormal winter; last week we had summer-like temperatures, to the point that we broke the previous record in both country-wide and region-wide electricity consumption (due to all the cooling loads, hot days always consume more electricity compared to cold days).
