The number of people who have died from heat-related causes in Germany since the beginning of the year has approached 10,000. According to a report by the Robert Koch Institute, an estimated 9,800 heat-related deaths occurred across Germany between January 1 and July 19. About half of these deaths occurred during the heatwave in the second half of June.

The RKI data shows that the majority of heat-related deaths were among older adults. The institute noted that in most cases, the deaths were not directly due to heat stroke, but rather the heat exacerbating existing health issues such as cardiovascular, respiratory, and kidney diseases.

The number of heat-related deaths is expected to rise. In June, temperatures exceeded 40 degrees Celsius in many parts of Germany, and weather forecasts predict that temperatures will again approach or exceed 40 degrees Celsius in some regions in the coming days.
