The lake in Sao Paulo ’s Ibirapuera Park has turned green in recent weeks , as Brazil grapples with a historic drought.

The color stems from a combination of an algal bloom, abundant nutrients, high temperatures and a lack of rain in the Brazilian metropolis, City Hall says.

Earlier this month , drought turned the Pinheiros River green, also due to an algae bloom.

The lake's green hue is only the latest reflection of dire climate conditions.
