France reports 1,243 heatwave deaths
During the second heatwave in July, France recorded an increase of 1,243 deaths above expectations, bringing the total additional heat-related deaths this year to 7,307. The health authorities clarified that most of these excess deaths were among people over 75 years old, affecting 78 out of 96 departments, which represents approximately 80% of the population. Although this heatwave was less severe than the one in June, it persisted and affected a wide geographic area, making it one of the hottest and driest months since record-keeping began. Authorities warn that the recorded deaths cannot yet be directly attributed to the rising temperatures.
