Europe's Heat Deaths Reach 200,000 in Four Years

Europe is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world. Record heat in Paris and Britain this June, following an earlier May heatwave, has overwhelmed hospitals and unprepared health systems. About 200,000 people have died from heat over the past four years. Scientists say June's temperatures would be nearly impossible without climate change. Final death counts for 2026 won't arrive for months.
