More than 4,600 people died in Spain last summer from heat-related causes. It was reported on Thursday, September 1 by Europa Press in relation to the Carlos III Health Institute.
The scientists concluded that the heat waves that covered Spain during the summer, especially in July, led to a significant increase in excess mortality.
Of the 20,291 deaths in Spain in June, July and August, 4,655 were attributed to overheating by the Carlos III Health Institute. This data is the highest since 2017, when more than 2,800 Spaniards died in the heat.
Most of the deaths due to abnormally high summer temperatures were in the autonomous community of Madrid (1,292), followed by Castile and León (576) and Catalonia (575).
It was previously reported that historical monuments appeared in Spain due to drought. The ancient stone circle and the church were discovered as the country’s reservoirs reached 36% of normal due to heat.
