Michele Campos feels like crying every summer when temperatures in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil climb above 40°C, heating up the cement that covers every corner of the favela of Chapeu Mangueira where she lives and making life unbearable in her windowless bedroom.
"Sleeping is the worst part," said the 39-year-old Campos. "In the favela we experience the heat in a very different way from people who can afford air conditioning."
