This sudden and sharp drop in temperature was due to cold air entering Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. It is the cold air of polka origin that came along with the cold front that made the clouds rise and caused the rain.
All cold fronts are associated with a cold air mass. Every time a cold front (with its cold air mass) passes through a place, it causes a drop in temperature. However, this decrease in temperature is not always pronounced.
