A severe heatwave continues to grip Europe, with record-breaking temperatures reported across several countries including Germany, the Czech Republic, and Denmark. Approximately 191 million people are expected to experience temperatures exceeding 35°C on Sunday, a slight decrease from Saturday’s peak. France is beginning to assess the impact of the heatwave, reporting over a thousand excess deaths since June 24th, primarily among those over 65, with a 40% increase in deaths at home. Authorities in Berlin are utilizing water cannons to provide relief to residents. While France is easing heat alerts in most areas, concerns remain about a potentially significant rise in fatalities as home healthcare workers and families resume visits. Medical professionals anticipate a substantial increase in reported deaths in the coming days.
