France said on the 21st that this summer’s heatwave has been estimated to cause
more than 32,000 excess deaths across Europe. EuroMOMO’s model indicates excess
mortality exceeded 32,000 between mid‑July and mid‑August; the model covers
official data from 23 countries and excludes parts of eastern Europe. Summer is
not over and EuroMOMO expects its figures to be revised in the coming weeks.
