Record-breaking heatwave causes over 1,000 deaths in France and sets temperature records across Europe.
An extreme heatwave swept across Europe in late June 2026, setting all-time temperature records in Germany, France, the UK, Czech Republic, Poland, and other nations. France reported approximately 1,000 excess deaths during the three-day peak of the heatwave, with the WHO linking over 1,300 total deaths across Europe to the high temperatures since June 21. A rapid scientific attribution study found the heatwave would have been virtually impossible without climate change.
