Liputan6.com, Paris – About 2300 people died from the effects of heat in 12 large European cities during extreme heat waves that have occurred recently, according to a quick scientific analysis published on Wednesday (7/7/2025).

This study emphasized the period of 10 days, which ended on July 2, when most of the regions of Western Europe suffered from a temperature exceeding the normal limit. In Spain, the thermometer penetrated 40 degrees Celsius, while forest fires made their way in a number of sections of France.

Of the total number of deaths, about 1,500 deaths were allegedly related to climate change, which aggravated this heat wave. This conclusion was discovered by scientists from the Imperial College of London and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

“Climate change made the temperature much higher than that should be, which, in turn, increases health risks,” Dr. Ben Clark is quoted from the London Imperial College, quoted from the page Japan todayThursday (10/7).

This study includes 12 cities, including Barcelona, ​​Madrid, London and Milan. In these cities, researchers found that climate change increased the temperature of the heat wave to 4 degrees Celsius higher than it should have happened without global warming.

To calculate the number of deaths, scientists use established epidemiological models and historical death data. They assess the mortality rate, which includes cases when heat is a direct cause or worsens previous diseases.

Since many deaths associated with heat are not registered, and a number of governments have not published data, researchers use methods of viewing of an unambiguous review for a quick work of assessments.

Hot temperatures reached a party, central java, up to 40 degrees Celsius. However, citizens actually use hot temperature to fry eggs on the porch of the house.
