A new study published in Nature Medicine estimates that over 47,000 people died in Europe last year due to heat, with southern European countries bearing the brunt of the heat-related deaths. The study found that women and elderly people faced the highest risk of heat-related deaths, and that societal adaptation to heat over the last century likely saved thousands of lives.
