Thousands Likely Killed in UK's Unprecedented May and June Heatwaves
Experts estimate that over 2,700 people may have died from heat-related causes during the UK's record-breaking May and June heatwaves. The heatwaves, caused by a heat dome intensified by climate change, experienced the warmest June on record and the highest temperatures since 1922. Vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those with existing health conditions, faced increased risks, with heatwaves likely to become more frequent and severe due to rising greenhouse gas emissions.
