仏熱波で6月の超過死亡5700人超に　75歳以上の高齢者が6割超　全世代で死者数が増加(2026年7月23日)

In France, which has been hit by a record-breaking heatwave, the number of deaths from mid-June to early July was 5,700 higher than the usual forecast. The French Public Health Agency announced on the 22nd that the number of "excess deaths"—deaths exceeding the usual forecast—for the 16 days from June 17th to July 2nd reached 5,764. This represents a 36% increase in deaths compared to the usual year. More than half of the increased deaths were concentrated between June 25th and 27th, when the record-breaking heatwave hit France, and two-thirds were elderly people aged 75 and over. Deaths increased across all age groups aged 15 and over, and the French Public Health Agency pointed out that "these figures highlight the significant impact of the heatwave."
