The weather station in Taipa Grande has logged the lowest temperature since the beginning of winter this year, recording 9.1 degrees Celsius.
The city has felt the cold weather since Saturday, after weeks of warm, sunny days.
The Meteorological and Geophysics Bureau (SMG) has forecast slightly higher temperatures today and tomorrow, up to 19 degrees tomorrow. However, temperatures are expected to drop Wednesday with a forecast temperature of about 10 degrees between the handover day and the winter solstice.
The SMG did not rule out a further drop in temperature.

The bureau issued the yellow cold weather alert Saturday.
