It's winter in the central Chilean Andes. The temperature has just hit 37 degrees Centigrade! (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/06/winter-heatwave-andes-sign-things-come-scientists-warn). At this time of the year, 37 is an exceptional temperature. It may well be due to the predicted combination of climate change and the El Nino phenomenon. Mountain snows are melting at comparatively low altitudes. Scientists say, however, that, perhaps, we ain't seen nothing yet.
