Residents of Porto Velho in the Brazilian Amazon have barely seen sunlight in days as a thick cloud of smoke from forest fires envelops their city. The Amazon suffered a historic drought between June and November last year and this year has recorded more than 42,000 forest fires from January 1 to August 19, according to the INPE, the worst number in nearly two decades.
