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.

That can be as low as 34C, with 90% humidity. I'm not trying to make it less of a problem, just trying to tune the clickbait down from 11.

Fuck humidity though. I can't stand it.

It was 42.5 degrees.

Ok, 42.5 I wouldn't personally survive in any humidity. My suffering season starts when it hits 28 outside.

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

As someone who feels 34 is as hot as I can handle it and it only qualifies if there is a fuckton of humidity Ill take the bait.
