What I'm not sure about is the number 13000. I think this number is inflated. How many deaths are attributed to heat when it could have been other issues. Meanwhile there is another euro country in the same heatwave (I apologize I don't recall who it was) and they have recorded zero deaths due to heat - simply because they aren't labelling them that way. Maybe someone is ill or otherwise and the heat didn't help, but not necessarily dying just because its so hot.
