Thursday evening the time and temperature display of this pumping station in Paramaribo (photo) recorded a temperature of 21 degrees. The wind chill was slightly lower, around 19 to 20 degrees.

According to this weatherman (video below) it has to do with a cold frontwhere an air mass of relatively cold air slides under an area of ​​warmer air.

A cold front is the boundary between cold and warm air. When a cold front moves, it will expel warm air and replace it with cold air. This can lead to rapid changes in the weather, such as a decrease in temperature, increasing wind speed, precipitation and thunderstorms.

When a cold front passes, the temperature can sometimes drop by 10 degrees in a few minutes. Cold air is also often drier than the warm air, so that the humidity decreases.

According to various weather apps, the temperature is rising slightly again, Friday evening it was 22 degrees.
