Unbearable heatwave causes health warning in Brazil

• Unbearable heatwave causes health warning in Brazil.
• Brazil has prompted red alerts for nearly 3,000 towns and cities.
• Over a hundred million people are grappling with the intense heat.

Unprecedented heatwaves in Brazil have prompted red alerts for nearly 3,000 towns and cities, with records shattered in locations like Rio de Janeiro, where temperatures felt as high as 52.5C.

Over a hundred million people are grappling with the intense heat, expected to persist until at least Friday. Officials attribute this extreme weather to the El Niño phenomenon and the impact of climate change.

The National Institute of Meteorology reported average temperatures of 37.3C, leading to significant energy consumption as individuals strive to cope with the scorching conditions in Sao Paulo.

Red alerts, indicating temperatures 5C above average for over five days, signal a serious health risk.

This heatwave, occurring a month ahead of the southern hemisphere’s summer, underscores the broader trend of rising temperatures, linked to climate change and exacerbated by human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. Global temperatures are anticipated to rise as the Earth experiences an El Niño phase.
