This is the best summary I could come up with:
The record was hit on Sunday in the town of Araçuaí, in Brazil’s south-eastern state of Minas Gerais.
According to the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet), only three state capitals will see temperatures approaching 40C, CNN Brasil reported.
The heat has seen red alerts issued across the country, a month before the beginning of summer in the southern hemisphere.
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 scientists, heatwaves are becoming longer and more intense in many places and this is expected to continue whilst humans keep releasing planet-warming greenhouse gases.
Meanwhile, the Earth is currently in an El Niño weather phase, during which time global temperatures typically increase.
