According to the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet), the smoke concentrated in the sky of the Federal District is a combination of "the fires in nearby areas and throughout the country, the dry climate and low humidity". The Fire Department of the Federal District reported that the situation is due to fires in the interior of the State of Sao Paulo, as the smoke reached Brasilia due to "the change of about 180º in the direction of the wind, further aggravated by a high pressure system that does not allow the smoke to dissipate.
