Heatwaves kill thousands in Germany and Spain

Temperatures in Germany soared above 41 degrees Celsius during the peak period, resulting in a sharp rise in fatalities, especially among seniors over 75 years old. In Spain, July was recorded as the most destructive heat month in history, with unprecedented wildfires, and it was also the driest July since 1961.
