Residents and tourists sought relief from the sweltering conditions by drinking plenty of water, using handheld fans and staying in the shade as temperatures reached 40°C and the intense heat gripped the city. Although not every European country has published an official death toll from the past month’s scorching temperatures, the June heat wave is estimated to have left thousands of people dead across the continent. On Sunday, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization, said on US social media platform X that high temperatures had caused more than 1,300 excess deaths across Europe since June 21. In Spain, the Health Ministry’s daily mortality monitoring system said on Wednesday that 1,028 deaths in June were attributable to high temperatures, surpassing the previous June record of 1,000 deaths set in 2017. Compiled reports from European countries indicate that the number of heat-related deaths has risen significantly.
