relatively warm

Just weather. Interesting weather, but just weather. July has been
very warm globally.

washed up on the Brazilian coast...

I saw that story elsewhere. I was a bit puzzled as sea temperatures in the
area are about normal. Several of the recent years have been colder. I think
they should look elsewhere for the cause of the deaths.

Is it possible, then, that relatively warm seas around the Falklands
have disoriented the penguins - pushing them into areas where there's
not much food - or, indeed, the wrong kind of fish - thus leaving them
to starve?

Peru declares emergency over cold weather http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-10749124

The Peruvian government has declared a state of emergency in more than
half the country due to cold weather.

Most of the areas affected are in the south, where temperatures
regularly drop below zero centigrade at this time of year.

However, this time temperatures have dropped to as low as -24C.

The state of emergency means regional authorities can dip into
emergency funds to provide medicine, blankets and shelter to those
most affected.
Seasonal deaths

The state of emergency was declared in 16 of Peru's 24 regions.

This week Peru's capital, Lima, recorded its lowest temperatures in 46
years at 8C, and the emergency measures apply to several of its
outlying districts.

In Peru's hot and humid Amazon region, temperatures dropped as low as
9C. The jungle region has recorded five cold spells this year.

Hundreds of people - nearly half of them very young children - have
died of cold-related diseases, such as pneumonia, in Peru's
mountainous south where temperatures can plummet at night to -20C.

Poor rural populations living at more than 3,000m above sea level are
the most affected.

Doctors say malnutrition, extreme poverty and poor living conditions
are major contributing factors to the seasonal deaths.
