Summary
Rio de Janeiro announced a 25-year agreement for the services of Cacique Cobra Coral, a spirit channeled by a 71-year-old woman in Guarulhos, Brazil.
The city said the arrangement is meant to help shield Rio from El Niño-related weather risks after civil defense alerts warned last month that conditions could support a bomb cyclone over southern Brazil.
That warning underscored Rio's concern over increasingly severe weather threats, placing the unusual pact in the city's broader effort to prepare for climate-driven disruptions.
