Makes you think though

Soaring humidity in Brazil has sent the heat index to a scorching 62.3C in the capital Rio de Janeiro.

The suffocating temperatures have been called the ‘highest mark’ since Alerta Rio, the Rio Alert system, began keeping records in 2014.

The heat index measures what temperatures feel like by taking into account humidity – the actual maximum temperature in the city was 42C.

Such high temperatures have put the country on high-alert for heat-related health risks.

The 62.3C high was recorded in western Rio at 9.55am local time – or 12.55 GMT – on Sunday as people flocked to the Ipanema and Copacabana beaches.

Authorities have been sharing tips on how to cope with the heat.
