Rio residents worried as new heat wave hits Brazil

People in Rio de Janeiro seek 'open spaces' and shades in a park as a new heatwave hits Brazil, with record-breaking temperatures.

In western Rio, the head index reached 60.1 ºC on Saturday, a maximum since the Rio Alert System began taking these measurements in 2014.

On Sunday, thermometers were reading between 37 and 38 ºC in most parts of the city.
