Unprecedented heat wave causes over 1,700 deaths in Belgium
A historic heatwave hit Belgium in late June, resulting in an additional 1,747 deaths, the highest number since data recording began in 2000. This represents a 47.8% increase over anticipated figures, due to ongoing high temperatures and elevated ozone levels. Belgium is also expected to experience a new heatwave with temperatures possibly exceeding 30°C for five consecutive days, while France is affected by a third heatwave with temperatures reaching 40-41°C near the coast.
