A winter heatwave is sweeping across South America, with temperatures set to exceed 40 degrees Celsius in Brazil. This follows a global trend of extreme heat, with July expected to be the hottest month in history. Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Brazil are experiencing unusually high temperatures for winter, attributed to the climate crisis and the El Niño phenomenon. Buenos Aires registered its hottest start to August in 117 years, and the southern part of the continent is experiencing abnormally high temperatures. Climatologists describe South America's heat as one of the most extreme events ever seen and emphasize the urgency of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
