The last mild day. Thursday is dry and pleasant with a high near 26°C, the final warm stretch before the weekend cools.
The mornings still bite, mind you. It was a cold 16°C overnight, so the city stepped out in coats it will happily be carrying by lunchtime.
The market feels the chill first. The dollar climbed to a three-month high near R$5.21 after a fresh US sanctions action, with the Ibovespa easing to 171,689.
And the countdown is on. Brazil face Norway and Erling Haaland in the round of 16 on Sunday, at MetLife Stadium just outside New York.
