Spain recorded over 5,000 heat-related deaths from June to August, marking a record high since data collection began in 2015. The Institute of Health attributed 2,149 deaths in August, 2,025 in July, and 937 in June. The previous record was 4,652 deaths in 2022. The data comes from the 'MoMo' system, which monitors mortality and considers factors like temperature. Spain faced extreme heat this summer, with more heatwaves expected. July 2026 was the hottest month ever recorded, matching July 2022, and was also the driest since 1961. The country is experiencing increasingly frequent and severe heatwaves due to climate change.
