Experts warn of the dangers of humidity after a young woman faints and dies during a Taylor Swift concert in Brazil. The heatwave in the country is said to be severely underestimated, with Australians also facing similar risks. Temperatures in Rio de Janeiro reached 42 degrees Celsius, but with humidity factored in, the heat index showed a reading of 59.3C.
"Absurdly" high temperatures in Brazil have prompted experts to warn of the "severely underestimated" dangers of humidity after a young woman fainted and died during a Taylor Swift concert. A Brazil ian meteorological service said the country's heatwave could be like no other Australians could face similar risks, according a heatwave expert, including in areas with milder overall temperatures.
Temperatures in parts of Rio de Janeiro, where Swift's Eras concert was held, soared as high as 42 degrees Celsius on Friday. But when humidity was factored in, the heat index – similar to Australia's "feels like" temperature – showed a reading of 59.3C. "Those temperatures are really extreme," University of New South Wales climate scientist Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick said. "It takes a really high temperature with a combination of humidity to reach the apparent temperature of 59.3C." Taylor Swift postponed her second concert in Rio and the death of the fan left her with a broken heart
