A powerful cold air mass of polar origin is over Brazil. This unusual sharp cooling has been producing freezing temperatures.

Look at some vocabulary to describe the weather here.

Now, the only thing I can think of, to tell people is:

“Make sure you keep warm!”

To keep/stay warm means to keep your body warm, meaning wear the right clothes or do the correct activity or thing to keep yourself warm (referring to body temperature).

It is a normal closing for good wishes. In the middle of winter, ‘stay warm’ would be taken as a wish that you keep warm now that the cold weather is upon us.

Next a few tips to deal with this cold weather:

A severe cold front is expected to reach Brazil this week.

And it’s so good when we can talk about the things that are happening around us in English, don’t you agree? So notice the nouns related to weather, and the verbs we combine with them.

Heavy rain is forecast for this week, and a large mass of polar air is expected to make it snow in some cities in Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul by Wednesday evening.

The cold front is also going to hit the Southeast, Center-West, and even some northern states.

In the next few days, temperatures will drop between 8 and 10 degrees. The relative humidity, the gusts of wind, the frost, and, consequently, the wind chill factor will make us feel the cold even more intense.
