A rapid analysis by Imperial College London and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine estimates that a 10‑day heatwave from June 23 to July 2 killed about 2,300 people across 12 major European cities . Human-induced warming raised temperatures up to 4 °C, causing approximately 1,500 of those deaths . Milan, Paris, and Barcelona reported the most fatalities, while older adults (65+) accounted for 80–88% of the climate‑linked casualties . The study used epidemiological models and historical data, revealing how heatwaves silently kill in homes and hospitals. It warns that climate-driven heat extremes are intensifying—posing a growing public-health emergency. (PC: AP Photo)
