Yeah, still, 58C for felt temperature is a living hell, a girl died in Taylor Swift’s concert and I don’t think you can do much except exist on the floor with that temperature.
I heard that about 1000 people fainted in that concert because they didn’t allow people to bring water bottles so they would buy overpriced water bottles in the venue (which is against the Consumer Defence Code in Brazil).
edit: and people did not buy the water bottles because nobody wants to pay, like, more than R$10,00 in a water bottle that costs a few cents if you just bring tap water from home (incredibly, in most of the state of São Paulo, where the show happened, tap water is completely safe as long as it is coming directly from the grid, and not from your home reservoir)
edit: also, in Santos (a coastal city near São Paulo), some street thermometers measured 50°C on saturday, as shown in the local news channel “A Tribuna” (The Tribune). The increase in temperature is probably due to the boiling hot asphalt of the streets.
At the same time, the felt temperature is the one that matters. A Texas summer day where it’s 42°C and feels like 45°C is atrocious, but not as awful as this by far.
the article is a bit misleading, actual temp was 42.5C, 58C was the felt temperature. which is still absurdly hot, but that is quite a difference
