I also heard that number, 3000. Johnny, does that article mention the number of people that usually dies during summer? I know that several elderly die every year due to the heat.
Normally it's between 50 and 200 in mostly southern european countries. This time it's much much worse, and it's not over yet. Here in the Netherlands the temperature has dropped below 30, thank goodness, but France, Spain and Greece, Italy and Portugal are still suffering from the heatwave. Not to mention the forest fires.
