Europe heatwave kills nearly 10,000, mostly elderly, officials say
Europe records over 10,000 excess deaths in late-June heatwave, most among elderly
Europes June heatwave claims thousands of excess deaths as fintech thrives in Baltic states
More than 10,000 excess deaths were recorded in Europe during the late-June heatwave, according to data from EuroMOMO and the World Health Organization (WHO). The majority of the deaths—over 9,000—were among people aged 65 and older, highlighting the vulnerability of the elderly to extreme heat.
The heatwave has had a significant impact across the continent. In the UK, more than 2,700 excess deaths have been linked to heatwaves in May and June, with temperatures above 35C recorded in three consecutive months for the first time on record. The Met Office study shows that the toll from May and June is already close to the record of summer 2022, even before deaths from the latest hot spell are counted.
France has also been severely affected, with the government shutting down three nuclear reactors and reducing the output of seven others to prevent overheating of rivers used for cooling. The heat has led to increased risks of wildfires, with parts of the UK and Sweden at exceptional risk. In the UK, areas in southern England and the Midlands are highlighted as being at highest risk, according to Natural England. The fire severity index shows the area of exceptional risk is set to increase and spread to the South East and east of England by the middle of the week.
The heatwave has also led to event cancellations and strain on healthcare systems. In France, the third heatwave of the year has led to increased risks and event cancellations. A doctor in France has written about the impact of heatwaves on patients and the healthcare system, highlighting the need for better political action to address the issue.
In Germany, a survey by the DAK-Gesundheit health insurance company shows that one-third of people have experienced health issues due to heat, with fatigue, sleep problems, and circulatory issues being the most common. Women are more affected than men, with 40% of women reporting health issues compared to 21% of men.
The heatwave has also led to the early closure of iconic landmarks in Paris. The Eiffel Tower and Louvre Museum have shortened their weekend opening hours, shutting their doors at 4 pm and enforcing a 2 pm last admission to protect visitors from the extreme heat.
Experts warn that heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change. The current heatwave is a sign of things to come, with more frequent and intense heatwaves expected in the future. Tropical nights, where temperatures do not drop below 20C, are becoming more common as global temperatures rise.
In the Netherlands, tropical temperatures are expected in the center and south of the country. In the UK, the Met Office has issued warnings about the risk of wildfires, with areas in southern England and the Midlands at highest risk.
The heatwave has also led to increased risks of wildfires in Sweden, with the fire severity index showing exceptional risk in some areas. In Spain, forest management issues are increasing the risk of megafires, with experts calling for an urgent state pact on forest management.
The heatwave has had a significant impact on human health, with experts warning that heat can exacerbate existing health conditions such as heart and lung diseases. In Austria, the number of heat-related deaths is calculated in the autumn, with 449 heat-related deaths recorded in 2025 and 989 in 2024, the hottest year on record.
The heatwave has also led to increased risks of wildfires in parts of the UK, with Natural England warning that the area of exceptional risk is set to increase and spread to the South East and east of England by the middle of the week. In Sweden, the risk of forest fires is high in almost half the country, with several fires already reported over the weekend.
