Aproape 2.900 de români au murit din cauza căldurii în vara anului trecut, arată datele unui raport de specialitate

A report indicates that nearly 2,900 deaths in Romania were linked to high temperatures in just four months of 2025, significantly surpassing road accident fatalities. Researchers noted that these heat-related deaths were not officially recorded as such, despite statistical estimations. The report highlights that the majority of these deaths occurred during severe heatwaves, particularly in late July. Vulnerable populations, especially those aged 75 and older, were disproportionately affected. The report also emphasizes regional disparities in heat-related mortality rates and calls for improved public health strategies to mitigate the impact of extreme temperatures.
