qualche giorno fa, a Rio de Janeiro, c’è stato un nuovo record di caldo: alle 9:55 del mattino (le 13:55 in Italia), la temperatura percepita ha raggiunto i 62,3 gradi.
Si tratta della temperatura più alta mai registrata in città dal 2014, anno di inizio delle registrazioni.
Per questo motivo, molte persone hanno affollato le spiagge simbolo di Rio, Ipanema e Copacabana, per cercare sollievo dal caldo insopportabile.

“Percepita”, in the sentence above, is the past participle of the verb percepire, used as an adjective.

For example:
– Ho mangiato una pizza cotta al forno a legna. (I ate a pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven)
>” cotta” is the p.p. of “cuocere” (to cook)

A few days ago, in Rio de Janeiro, there was a new heat record: at 9:55 in the morning (13:55 in Italy), the perceived temperature reached 62.3 degrees.
This is the highest temperature ever recorded in the city since 2014, the year when recordings began.
For this reason, many people crowded the iconic beaches of Rio, Ipanema and Copacabana, to seek relief from the unbearable heat.
