This summer in Europe saw an unprecedented rise in temperatures and a recurrence of intense heatwaves, leading to an increase in heat-related deaths in some countries. In Austria, the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety “AGES” recorded 646 deaths linked to high temperatures during June and July, a record high surpassing the previous record of 570 deaths in 2024.
