Amazing figures, deaths from the heat

The heatwave that hit France between the 29th of June and the 5th of July left 700 dead, the ministry announced on Thursday. The figures were taken from the fact that there were seven percent more deaths registered in France during this period than at the same time last year. Almost 3,600 people were hospitalized during the heatwave, while almost 1,500 people saw their local GP after suffering from the heat, the ministry added. The heatwave was a record breaker in some parts of the country for the time of the year, and even in the capital temperatures almost hit 40C. While the death tally is high, it pales incomparison to the heatwave of 2003      http://www.thelocal.fr/20150716/ministry-confirms-700-dead-in-french-heatwave
