    42.6 °C actually (Rio de Janeiro). That “nearly 60 °C” is the heat index. It is very worrying though…

      Yes, this report uses the heat index, which accounts for heat + humidity. Basically, a “feels like” temperature.

      Not to undermine the extremely concerning temperature trends, but that point should be clarified.
