A city caught between seasons, Santiago endured on May 23rd what it had not felt since 1965 — a day when the thermometer never truly woke up, peaking at just 7.2°C a full month before winter's official arrival. Cold air from the deep south collided with coastal humidity to wrap the capital in fog and stillness, reminding its residents that nature does not consult the calendar. The disruption, though sharp, is expected to be brief, with temperatures forecast to rebound dramatically by Tuesday — a reminder that extremes, like all things, carry within them the seeds of their own reversal.
