Heat, Spain, '212 deaths since Sunday'

In Spain, at least 212 deaths recorded between Sunday and Wednesday are attributable to the record heatwave. This emerged from data published by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III in Madrid. In the same days of 2025, 98 deaths were attributable to the same cause.

These are estimates based on a system known as 'MoMo' (Daily Mortality Monitoring System), which daily collects information on the number of deaths in Spain, performs calculations based on comparison with historical data forecasts, and integrates factors such as temperatures communicated by the National Meteorological Agency to process the data.Yesterday, the National Meteorological Agency (Aemet) announced that Monday and Tuesday were the hottest days ever recorded in June in Spain since at least 1950. Between mid-May and the end of September 2025, 3,832 deaths had been attributed to heat using the same 'MoMo' system.
