GermanyA severe heatwave across Europe from June 20-28 caused at least 3,700 excess deaths in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands combined, with France recording 2,025 deaths and Belgium 1,222. Temperatures exceeded 40°C (104°F), breaking records in multiple countries. Authorities warn the death toll may rise further, with elderly populations and those aged 45-64 being disproportionately affected. In France, the heat crisis has contributed to a potential no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu. Belgium reported 'unprecedented' heat conditions, with seven tropical days exceeding 30°C, leading to event cancellations. The Netherlands saw around 480 excess deaths, primarily in southern and eastern regions.

It provides factual data from governmental and health authorities without apparent ideological slant.
Zašto ove ocjene (Činjenice 85 · Objektivnost 70): The article provides specific death tolls and expert assessments, aligning with cross-source consensus on the heatwave's severity.
