"France recorded more than 5,700 excess deaths during its June heatwave,
authorities have said, as swathes of southern Europe continue to endure another
record-breaking period of extreme temperatures.
The French national health agency said on Wednesday that it had recorded 5,764
excess deaths between 17 June and 2 July, an excess mortality rate of 36%.
More than half of the “unprecedented” total were recorded between 25 and 27
June, with deaths of people aged 75 and older accounting for about two-thirds
of the excess mortality, the agency said."
