Germany reports over 5,000 deaths linked to heatwave
Germany recorded over 5,000 heat-related deaths since the beginning of the year, with the majority occurring in late June when temperatures exceeded 20°C. Most of the deceased were elderly over 75, with higher death rates among women due to their larger representation in the senior age group. German authorities also announced more than 4,700 excess deaths beyond normal levels during the heatwave that affected France, Belgium, Spain, and the Netherlands between June 20 and 28. EU experts confirmed that the end of June was among the hottest summer months ever recorded in Western Europe, impacting electricity supplies and leading to school closures.
