Cum au murit 2.900 de români în doar patru luni din 2025. Numărul este de două ori mai mare decât cel al persoanelor care au pierit pe șosele

In Romania, nearly 2,900 deaths were linked to high temperatures in just four months of 2025, significantly surpassing road accident fatalities. The report indicates that most heat-related deaths were not officially recorded as such, despite statistical estimations. The highest mortality occurred during severe heatwaves, particularly in late July, with older adults being the most affected demographic. Regional disparities in heat-related mortality rates were noted, with southern counties experiencing the highest risks. The report emphasizes the need for improved public health strategies to mitigate the impact of extreme heat, especially for vulnerable populations.
