Cel puțin 35.000 de decese în plus înregistrate în valuri de caniculă din Europa. Ce s-a întâmplat în România? • Newsweek România

This summer, Europe experienced unprecedented heat waves, leading to at least 35,000 excess deaths across the continent, with significant impacts in Romania. Germany, France, and Spain reported the highest mortality rates, with Germany alone accounting for around 14,000 heat-related deaths. The extreme temperatures, exacerbated by climate change, have made such events more frequent. Initial data suggests that many countries, including Romania, have seen increased mortality, although final figures are still pending. The heat has primarily affected those with pre-existing health conditions, complicating the attribution of deaths directly to heat exposure.
