increase in mortality that disproportionately affects people over 65 years of age.
On July 3, Public Health France had already published an initial assessment of the excess mortality linked to this unprecedented heat wave. The agency reported more than 2,000 additional deaths nationwide, representing an increase of approximately 30% in national mortality and more than 62% in the Île-de-France region. However, it specified that it did not yet have all the data and announced the publication of a new bulletin three weeks after the heat wave ended.
