Europe's Summer Heat Wave Estimated to Have Killed 50,000
Original: Europe’s Summer Heat Wave Killed an Estimated 50,000 People
An estimated 50,000 people died across Europe as a result of this summer's heat wave, according to the reported estimate. The figure is drawing attention to the growing human cost of extreme heat on the continent, where temperatures have repeatedly broken records in recent years and health systems have faced mounting pressure during prolonged hot spells.
Why now: The unusually high death toll estimate highlights growing alarm over extreme heat linked to climate change.
