Rio de Janeiro recorded a scorching 44°C , triggering the city's highest-level heat alert for the first time, disrupting daily life and raising concerns ahead of the upcoming carnival.
Rio de Janeiro experienced an extreme heatwave on Monday, reaching a record 44°C, according to the city's chief meteorologist, Raquel Franco. This unprecedented temperature activated the "Heat 4" alert—the highest level—marking the first time such an alert has been issued.
Authorities warn that a "Heat 4" alert is triggered when temperatures between 40°C and 44°C are expected to persist for at least three consecutive days. In response, officials have advised residents to minimize sun exposure and implemented emergency measures to ensure hydration and medical support.
The scorching temperatures, likened to desert-like conditions, have significantly disrupted daily activities, with many residents calling the heat unbearable. The ongoing heatwave comes at a critical time, just weeks before Rio’s world-famous carnival. Concerns are rising over the impact on construction workers preparing festival venues, as well as the overall execution of the upcoming celebrations.
