The July 2011 Chilean winter storm was a winter storm affecting the Andean portions of Biobío, including Ñuble Province, and Araucanía regions in south-central Chile.[1][2] Through the Andean valleys thousands of people were left isolated because of heavy snowfall.[1] In some sectors, blackouts occurred.[1] Avalanches left the tourist facilities of Termas de Chillán isolated.[2] There was a loss of livestock, mainly sheep as a consequence of the storm.[3] On the night of July 19, temperatures as low as −18 °C (0 °F) were reported in Liucura.[3] The Chilean Air Force made an operation to deliver supplies to isolated localities.[3] Defense Minister Andrés Allamand visited the affected area.[3]
