It’s official, red alerts have gone out across the entire country of Brazil as the heat index hits 137F. The high temperature combined with humidity has made it impossible for most people to carry out their normal lives. There’s already reports of power outages. People can’t work. They can’t run errands. They can barely sleep. It’s not even summer there yet.
Coming from a place that sees -40c to +40c almost every year, I can confirm this is not clickbait
Shit I worked with a guy from Oklahoma and mid August we were working near Toronto (Ontario) and he couldn’t take the heat and it was only 30 without the humidity.
That shit ain’t no joke
