"Electrifying music concerts and other mass events are increasingly under
threat from severe weather events, such as extreme heat.
The tragic incident at a Taylor Swift concert in Brazil recently, which
resulted in the death of one fan, is a stark reminder of what can happen.
The concert took place in a stadium during a heatwave. Fans lined up for hours
outside the Rio de Janeiro venue, with temperatures reportedly over 40°C. With
the high humidity, this would have felt like almost 60°C, according to a
measure known as the “heat index”.
As well as the fatality, fans reported burns after touching hot metal floors
and railings."
