For the first time since records began, Santiago and Chile’s metropolitan region received no rainfall in July. Meteorologist Alicia Moya reported zero millimeters of precipitation at multiple weather stations, with record-low readings elsewhere in the country. This “abnormally dry” July is unusual for the austral winter. Despite some relief from heavy rains in June, the ongoing decade-long drought suggests that dry conditions will persist. Climatologist Raul Cordero noted that Santiago typically gets at least 50 millimeters of rain in July, making this dry month extraordinary. He warned that climate change and the La Niña phenomenon will likely lead to more dry Julys in the future.
