Germany faces 9,600 heatwave fatalities in a week
New estimates from the German Robert Koch Institute have shown that the number of deaths linked to the intense heatwave that Germany experienced at the end of June reached about 9,600 during the week from June 22 to June 28. This brings the total number of deaths since the beginning of the year to over 11,900, the highest figure since 2016. Most of the fatalities are attributed to the days when temperatures approached 40 degrees Celsius, with seniors over the age of 85 accounting for a significant portion of the deaths. The report indicates that a rise in heat-related deaths often occurs when the weekly average temperature remains around 20 degrees Celsius.
