TL;DR;
The summer of ’22 was no regular sun-soaked vacation time in Europe – instead, it morphed into a scorching nightmare as an unprecedented heat wave, coupled with droughts and forest fires, cranked up the heat to fatal levels. Here’s the shocker – it claimed over 61,000 lives, according to a new study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal). So much for a sunny European getaway, eh? 🌞💀

But the ‘Frying in Europe: Summer of ’22’ wasn’t just uncomfortable and sweaty. It was deadly. According to the brainiacs at ISGlobal, this was the summer where Europe didn’t just break the heat records, it smashed them to pieces, causing the mercury to surge to never-seen-before levels, resulting in a shocking 61,000 deaths. 😱💔
We know what you’re thinking – heat, death, Europe? How’s that all connected? Allow us to break it down.
