August heat causes 2,149 deaths in Spain
Spain recorded approximately 2,150 deaths linked to high temperatures during August, the second-highest figure since data collection began in 2015, following 2025's 2,184 deaths. The data indicates that unprecedented heatwaves in Western Europe led to over 5,200 deaths between May 15 and August 31, the highest number during that summer period.
