Brazil capital breaks record for longest drought of 164 days

Sao Paulo, Oct 4 (UNI) Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, has set a new record for its longest dry spell, with 164 straight days without rain, the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) reported Friday.
The prolonged drought has fueled widespread wildfires and grassland burns, which have surged across various regions of the country since August.
The previous record was set in 1963, just three years after Brasilia's founding, with 163 consecutive rainless days. The city, located in Brazil's central region, is now grappling with the dual threat of extreme heat and low humidity.
