Over 25,000 deaths from heatwaves in Europe

Europe experienced a severe heatwave this summer, leading to the death of more than 25,000 people in Germany, Spain, and France as a result of the heatwaves. In Germany, the rise in temperatures—particularly above 41°C—caused approximately 14,000 deaths, mostly among seniors over 75 years old, marking a significant increase compared to 2018, when about 8,900 deaths were recorded. In Spain, heat-related deaths reached 4,458 since June, the highest since 2022, with record-breaking temperatures exceeding 42°C, coupled with widespread wildfires. In France, health agencies reported over 7,300 deaths resulting from successive heatwaves, with figures expected to rise as assessments are finalized in October. These heatwaves significantly affect the elderly and can exacerbate heart and respiratory conditions.
