Smoke from bushfires raging across Australia reached Brazil on Tuesday, an arm of the National Institute for Space Research said on Twitter.
Private meteorological company MetSul also tweeted about the arrival of a smoke cloud to Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, but emphasized that"the presence of smoke from Australia in the air is almost imperceptible, despite the satellite showing smoke in the atmosphere over the great Porto Alegre."
That means the hazy cloud of smoke, sitting at about 6,000 meters in the air, traveled more than 12,000 kilometers to reach South America. Fires ravaging Australia since September have left 24 people dead and destroyed some eight million hectares of land -- an area the size of Ireland or the US state of South Carolina.
