España iguala el récord de la década en mortalidad por calor: más de 3.000 fallecidos en tres meses

Spain has recorded more than 3,000 heat-related deaths over a three-month period, tying the high mortality record of the decade. This figure doubles the fatalities registered in the previous year and approaches the levels seen during the severe summer of 2022, which remains the deadliest in recent times, though it stays well below the record figures of 2003.

Experts have noted that the mortality linked to high temperatures now matches or exceeds deaths caused by influenza. The data underscores a significant public health impact from recent extreme weather conditions across the country.
