According to a report released by Germany's Robert Koch Institute on the 20th, from April 6 to August 9, about 14,000 people in Germany died from causes related to high temperatures, which is equivalent to 17 deaths for every 100,000 people. According to the report, compared to previous years, the number of deaths related to high temperatures in Germany has risen markedly since this year. 2018 was the year with the highest number of related deaths in the past 10 years, with about 9,400 deaths due to high temperature-related causes; after 2019, there were about 7,600 people. Of the 14,000 cases that have died this year, people aged 85 and above account for the largest proportion, reaching 7040; people aged 75 to 84 are about 3,450; and people aged 65 to 74 are about 2,170. According to the Robert Koch Institute, the above data is a conservative estimate, and the actual number of deaths may be higher. Although there are cases of death due to high temperatures, most people die due to a combination of heat and underlying diseases.
