Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is famous for it's huge and beautiful fireworks show every year. But last New Years Eve (2024 - 2025), many viewers were disappointed with the show because of a heavy smoke cloud that overshadowed the beauty of the spectacle right after the first 2 minutes.
But what was the reason of so much smoke?
We all know that almost any kind of firework cause lots of smoke. Many people think the problem was caused by the quality of the products, but the main reason for that was probably the high humidity rate. In Rio de Janeiro, the highest humidity rates occur between december and april. According to INMET (National Institute of Meteorology), the humidity at the moment of the show was around 89%, so this, along with an unfavorable wind, was the main reason for the problem.
Below is a picture of the beautiful start of the show:

Anyway, with lots of smoke or not, for us that love fireworks it's all good and better years will come!
