A new record for perceived heat was recorded in Rio de Janeiro. The thermometer rose to 40 degrees Celsius. But the perceived heat index exceeded 62 degrees. It is the highest since 2014, when Rio began recording such data.
Locals and tourists flock to the beach – closer to the sea. The pools are also full of people.
However, not everyone has the opportunity to escape the heat. In poor areas, people rely only on their endurance.
Felt weather is a special index that is calculated based on temperature and relative humidity data. The higher these indicators, the stronger the heat is felt.
By the end of the week, Rio de Janeiro will become a little cooler with showers and thunderstorms.
