Heat dome causes many deaths in Belgium
Belgium recorded over two thousand deaths during the heatwave that swept Europe in June, with the death rate increasing by 48%, the highest among affected European countries. Experts attribute this wave to the "heat dome" phenomenon, which traps hot air over large areas, causing temperatures to reach record levels. Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions are leading to more frequent and intense heatwaves, heightening their danger and impact on populations, especially in impoverished regions that have limited preparedness.
