The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the summers ahead will be harder. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis heatwave is a dress rehearsal,\u201d said Dr Hans Henri Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe. <\/p>\n<p>Europe is warming at more than twice the global average and heatwaves are no longer one-off freak events. They are recurring crises, and they are becoming more frequent, stronger and longer-lasting, Kluge added. <\/p>\n<p>In the past month, France has reported over 1,000 deaths since 24 June alone, with the majority among people aged 65 and over, and emergency calls have risen by up to 50% in some cities. <\/p>\n<p>Spain&#8217;s mortality monitoring system has already estimated 892 heat-associated excess deaths in June.<\/p>\n<p>Kluge warned that every summer we fail to prepare for is a summer we pay for in lives. <\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">WHO Europe chief calls on governments to treat extreme heat as a \u2018health crisis\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, for the WHO, it is not all bad news as the agency stresses that prevention works. <\/p>\n<p>According to WHO\u2019s Europe chief, estimates show that heat-related deaths in Europe in 2023 would have been around 80% higher without the adaptation measures already in place. For people aged 80 or above, deaths could have been twice as high. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHeat-health action plans, early warnings, cooling spaces, outreach to vulnerable people \u2014 these are not bureaucratic exercises. They are saving lives right now \u2014 we need more of them, across all of the European Region,\u201d Kluge added. <\/p>\n<p>The heatwave is now expected to spread over large parts of Western, Central and Southern Europe and the Balkans by 30 June, according the World Meteorological Organization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the summers ahead will be harder.\u00a0\u201cThis heatwave is a dress rehearsal,\u201d said Dr Hans Henri Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe.\u00a0Europe is warming at more than twice the global average and heatwaves are no longer one-off freak events. They are recurring crises, and they are becoming more frequent, stronger and longer-lasting, Kluge added.\u00a0In the past month, France has reported over 1,000 deaths since 24 June alone, with the majority among people aged 65 and over, and emergency calls have risen by up to 50% in some cities.\u00a0Spain&#8217;s mortality monitoring system has already estimated 892 heat-associated excess deaths in June.Kluge warned that every summer we fail to prepare for is a summer we pay for in lives.\u00a0However, for the WHO, it is not all bad news as the agency stresses that prevention works.\u00a0According to WHO\u2019s Europe chief, estimates show that heat-related deaths in Europe in 2023 would have been around 80% higher without the adaptation measures already in place. For people aged 80 or above, deaths could have been twice as high.\u00a0\u201cHeat-health action plans, early warnings, cooling spaces, outreach to vulnerable people \u2014 these are not bureaucratic exercises. They are saving lives right now \u2014 we need more of them, across all of the European Region,\u201d Kluge added.\u00a0The heatwave is now expected to spread over large parts of Western, Central and Southern Europe and the Balkans by 30 June, according the World Meteorological Organization.\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/2026\/06\/30\/europes-current-heatwave-is-just-a-dress-rehearsal-who-warns&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/81\/88\/88\/1200x675_cmsv2_ec5b8ecc-75a7-582b-b1f4-4af50cbd74b0-9818888.jpg&#8221;] Tech News WhatsApp&#8217;s switch from phone numbers to usernames &#8211; explained Health news France&#8217;s National Assembly approves assisted dying bill USA Supreme Court rejects Trump executive order on birthright citizenship Top News Stories Today Latest news bulletin | June 30th, 2026 \u2013 Evening Tech News WhatsApp&#8217;s switch from phone numbers to usernames [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2020207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2020207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2020207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2020207\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2020207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2020207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2020207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
