Another unwelcome climate change milestone.

You may have heard about Taylor Swift cancelling a concert in Rio de Janeiro because of the heat. This is how hot it was.

The record was hit on Sunday in the town of Araçuaí, in Brazil's south-eastern state of Minas Gerais. The unprecedented weather has been attributed to the El Niño phenomenon and climate change. Forecasters say some of the heat is likely to ease this week. According to the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet), only three state capitals will see temperatures approaching 40C, CNN Brasil reported. The government agency said Araçuaí's high of 44.8C had beaten the country's previous record of 44.7C, measured in 2005. The heat has seen red alerts issued across the country, weeks before the beginning of summer in the southern hemisphere. Brazil's energy consumption has soared to record levels as people try to keep themselves cool.

The state of Minas Gerais is located in between Rio and the national capital Brasília. It is not a remote area. And in the Southern Hemisphere, this is the equivalent of mid to late spring. To paraphrase Ned Stark, Summer is coming.

The high temperatures led to Taylor Swift cancelling one of her concerts in Rio de Janeiro after a fan fell ill and died before a show on Friday. According to the organisers, 23-year-old Ana Clara Benevides Machado had sought help at the stadium after feeling unwell. She was transferred to hospital but died one hour later. Official research released two weeks ago showed that the average temperature in the country had been above the historical average from July to October. Extreme weather is becoming more frequent and more intense in many places around the world because of climate change.

Climate deniers may try to blame the record heat on the latest El Niño. But that ignores the fact that it hadn't gotten this hot in Brazil during any of the previous recurring El Niños.

This is yet another indication that climate change is testing the limits of where humans can survive.

Brazil's previous president, Jair Bolsonaro, gave the green light to deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. The neo-fascist "Trump of the Tropics" in three years during his term oversaw the deforestation of an area larger than Belgium.

Bolsonaro in his own way added to the misery Brazil is currently experiencing. He is a climate traitor to his own country.
