People enjoy Recreio dos Bandeirantes beach amid a heat wave in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on March 17, 2024. A new heat wave is hitting Brazil, with record temperatures that drove residents of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo on Sunday to pour onto beaches and parks. In western Rio, the wind chill touched 60.1 degrees Celsius on Saturday, a maximum since the Sistema Alerta Rio began making these measurements in 2014.
"If a heatwave is moving slower, that means heat can stay in a region longer, so that has effects on communities," senior author Wei Zhang of Utah State University told AFP. "It's pretty clear to us that a dominant factor here to explain this trend is anthropogenic forcing, the greenhouse gas," said Zhang.
"The results suggest that longer-traveling and slower-moving large contiguous heat waves will cause more devastating impacts on natural and societal systems in the future if GHG keep rising, and no effective mitigation measures are taken," the authors wrote."In particular, cities that don't have enough green infrastructure or not many cooling centers for some folks, in particular for the disadvantaged population, will be very dangerous," he warned.
