Spain reports 101 deaths in May from early heatwave
Spain experienced an unprecedented rise in heatwave-related deaths during May, with 101 fatalities recorded— the highest number since the monitoring system was established in 2015. This figure is three times the average over the past decade. The Ministry of Health attributed this sudden spike to temperatures reaching levels that the body had not yet acclimated to, with the risk of death increasing by approximately 9.1% to 10.7% for every additional degree Celsius. Estimates indicate that the total number of deaths caused by heatwaves between 2015 and 2025 exceeds 27,000 people.
