France’s health agency says 1,000 people have died in excess as heat waves continue to sweep across Europe.

The agency added that most of the deaths involved people aged 65 and over, although the health effects of extreme heat have affected the general population.

Since June 20, Europeans have been dealing with extreme heat which has caused museums and schools to close early.

According to estimates by the AFP news agency, at least 191 million people are expected to experience temperatures of around 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) in Europe on Sunday, with the highest temperatures especially in Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland.

Slovakia, Serbia, Croatia, Italy, Austria and western Ukraine will also be affected.

As the storm moves towards eastern Europe, France’s meteorological agency said the severe weather had eased in most parts of the country, but parts of the north-east were under a heat advisory.

French Health Minister Stephanie Rist told La Tribune newspaper that the heatwave could last up to 10 days.

“This episode is not over,” he told a BFM reporter.

Deaths are rising

In Germanyat least seven people died in swimming accidents over the weekend as the heat caused many people to freeze in lakes and rivers, dpa reported.

At least two people died in separate swimming accidents in Berlin on Saturday, German police said. In one incident, a group in a rubber boat found a man unconscious in the Jungfernheideteich, a man-made lake in a public park west of Berlin.

Germany has been hit by a heat wave for several days, with temperatures reaching or exceeding 40C (104F) in many places.

Also, the temperature in eastern Kubschuetz did not drop below 29.4C on Saturday night, according to the German weather service (DWD), making it the hottest night since the last 150 years.

On Saturday, the first record high temperatures were set in Germany, Denmark and the Czech Republic.

According to scientists, the warming would not have been possible without human-made climate change.

But the recent warming was caused by a phenomenon known as the omega block, which is caused by a climate that blocks very hot air from areas for long periods of time.

As the high temperature continues to subside over the weekend, severe thunderstorms are expected.
