About half of the deceased were 75 or older.
Heat waves that plagued France this summer left some 1,500 people dead, according to the European nation's health minister.
Although the number of deaths was high, Buzyn also pointed out that it was much lower than the 15,000 deaths that occurred during scorching summer heat wave back in 2003. The minister attributed the lower death toll in 2019 to a successful public awareness campaign. Elsewhere in Europe, multiple countries recorded exceptionally hot summer temperatures as scientists pointed to the growing global impact of climate change.
"I ask everyone who can avoid or delay their journeys to do so," Borne said at the time."When it is this hot it is not just people in a fragile state who can have health problems."
