    • Europe saw at least 30,000 excess deaths across a blistering summer of back-to-back heatwaves and drought between mid-July and mid-August, according to provisional figures from EuroMomo
    • EuroMomo's weekly estimates show the last week of June was the summer's deadliest, with nearly 16,000 excess deaths recorded
    • The first week of July follows in second place with some 8,000 deaths
    • A count of national health authority tallies found 33,000 excess deaths or deaths directly linked to heat across eight countries: Austria, Belgium, England, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain

What happened, for context

Scientists said human-caused climate change was the main driver of record-breaking sea temperatures around Europe in summer 2025, with the Mediterranean averaging 27°C in July and peaking at 33°C near Mallorca in August. The World Weather Attribution group found such temperatures would have been nearly impossible without approximately 2°C of warming in the Mediterranean and 1.4°C in Western European seas caused by human activity.
