According to the latest information about hot developments, a new phase has been entered in the event that is closely followed by the public. According to the details given; For many years in Europe, floods, storms and cold weather were considered the continent's biggest climate risks. However, recently extreme heat has become the continent's deadliest threat. Only in the last week of June 2026, deaths exceeded the 10 thousand threshold. According to the EuroMOMO death tracking system, 10,650 additional deaths were recorded in 27 European countries in the week of 22-28 June. More than 9 thousand of these deaths were people over the age of 65. According to data and analysis by the World Health Organization, the European Climate and Health Observatory, the European Adaptation Platform to Climate Change (Climate-ADAPT) and the World Resources Institute (WRI), more than 200 thousand deaths in four years is not just an environmental problem. It is considered a structural risk that energy policy, urban planning, health capacity and social services should be addressed together. Experts warn that if Europe continues to be the fastest warming continent in the world, similar crises may occur every summer with higher costs with the existing energy and health infrastructure. Legal investigations and investigations by the competent authorities on the subject continue to deepen. We will continue to report new developments as they occur.
Hot details continue to come after the last minute development that occupies the agenda. According to the latest information obtained; According to the data announced by Hans Henri P. Kluge, Director of the World Health Organization's European Region, more than 200 thousand people died due to extreme heat in the European Union and related countries in the last four years, leaving their relatives in mourning. WHO emphasizes that most of these deaths can be prevented by taking precautions. Experts state that the increase in temperature alone does not cause such a high loss of life. The real problem is that Europe's energy, health and urban infrastructure cannot adequately adapt to new climate conditions. Millions of residences on the continent consist of historic stone and concrete structures designed to keep heat in during the winter months. In heat waves that last for days, these buildings cannot release the heat they stored during the day at night. Thus, the internal temperature of houses reaches levels that do not allow the human body to rest. Detailed analysis and official statements of the issue are closely followed by our editorial team in line with the developments.
Information from official sources regarding the issue, which has a wide repercussion on Türkiye's agenda, has become clear. According to the statements made; According to WRI data, more than 90 percent of homes in the USA have air conditioning, while in Europe this rate is approximately 20 percent. Energy costs, environmental concerns and the technical characteristics of old buildings limit the use of air conditioning. While electricity demand increased rapidly during heat waves in France, Spain and Italy, malfunctions and outages in energy systems occurred in some regions, causing public concern. Detailed analysis and official statements of the issue are closely followed by our editorial team in line with the developments.
Hot details continue to come after the last minute development that occupies the agenda. According to the latest information obtained; WHO emphasizes that the solution is not just to increase air conditioning use. Organisation; It recommends that cities create more green areas, expand shading projects, establish cooling centers, regularly check the elderly, regulate working hours according to temperature, and implement national temperature-health action plans. According to WHO, more than half of European countries still do not have a comprehensive heat-health action plan. The institution states that heat-related deaths can be significantly reduced thanks to early warning systems and the coordinated work of local governments. Heat waves strain not only citizens but also healthcare systems. According to WHO data, emergency room visits have reached record levels in many European cities. Emergency calls increased by 50 percent in some French cities. London Ambulance Service experienced one of the busiest days in its history. The number of patients increased in hospitals and problems were observed in cooling systems and medical devices due to high temperatures. Legal investigations and investigations by the competent authorities on the subject continue to deepen. We will continue to report new developments as they occur.
According to the latest information about hot developments, a new phase has been entered in the event that is closely followed by the public. According to the details given; It was reported that France was one of the countries most affected by the heat wave at the end of June. According to data cited by Reuters, more than a thousand "additional deaths" were recorded in the country during just a few days of extreme heat. Night temperatures approaching 40 degrees in big cities, especially Paris, increased the health risk in areas with a high elderly population. While emergency room applications increased in hospitals, the healthcare system was overwhelmed by heat-related cases. While the investigation process carried out by the official authorities regarding the incident continues, you can instantly follow the most up-to-date information on our website.
Hot details continue to come after the last minute development that occupies the agenda. According to the latest information obtained; Germany is among the countries most affected by heat waves because it has one of the oldest populations in Europe. The risk of heat-related death has increased, especially in nursing homes and in the elderly with chronic diseases. While the "heat island" effect caused by the density of asphalt and concrete in big cities prevents night cooling, the unsuitability of old building stock for air conditioning systems caused citizens to be exposed to high temperatures in their homes. Detailed analysis and official statements of the issue are closely followed by our editorial team in line with the developments.
Information from official sources regarding the issue, which has a wide repercussion on Türkiye's agenda, has become clear. According to the statements made; A health alarm was issued in Spain as temperatures exceeded 40 degrees in many regions and approached 45 degrees in some points. Warnings have been issued for outdoor workers and the elderly population in the southern parts of the country. Applications due to heat stroke and dehydration have increased in hospitals. Drought and forest fire risk are also among the factors that increase the economic cost of the heat wave. Detailed analysis and official statements of the issue are closely followed by our editorial team in line with the developments.
Information from official sources regarding the issue, which has a wide repercussion on Türkiye's agenda, has become clear. According to the statements made; The highest temperature alarm was declared in many cities in Italy, especially Rome, Milan, Florence and Bologna. While health authorities assigned additional personnel to hospitals, emergency precaution plans were put into effect, especially for people with heart and respiratory diseases. In a country with a large elderly population, high indoor temperatures for a long time stood out as one of the main factors that increase the risk of death. Legal investigations and investigations by the competent authorities on the subject continue to deepen. We will continue to report new developments as they occur.
Hot details continue to come after the last minute development that occupies the agenda. According to the latest information obtained; Since most of the houses in England were built for cold weather conditions, the indoor temperature remained high for a long time in extreme heat. Due to the low rate of air conditioning usage, especially the elderly and individuals living alone were in the risk group. The National Health System (NHS) reported that emergency departments are overcrowded and there is an increase in heat-related health problems during heat waves. Legal investigations and investigations by the competent authorities on the subject continue to deepen. We will continue to report new developments as they occur.
Information from official sources regarding the issue, which has a wide repercussion on Türkiye's agenda, has become clear. According to the statements made; The countries where Turkish air conditioning industry exports increased the most on a proportional basis in June were Finland with 130.7 percent, Croatia with 97.3 percent, Latvia with 96.1 percent, Luxembourg with 83.6 percent, and Malta with 74 percent. Osman Baştaş, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Air Conditioning Industry Exporters Association, said, "While Turkish manufacturers provide a significant advantage in global markets with their quality production, flexible production capability, fast delivery and strong engineering infrastructure, the restructuring process in the supply chains has offered important opportunities to our industry thanks to Türkiye's proximity to Europe. The demand for systems that are highly energy efficient, have a low carbon footprint and work with environmentally friendly refrigerants is rapidly increasing in many markets, especially in Europe. Turkish companies have also been investing in this transformation for a long time."
