Recent heat waves across the European continent, which have pushed temperatures above seasonal norms, are boosting demand for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) products, driving double-digit growth in Turkish exports to the region.
Extreme heat waves across the continent are reshaping daily life and demand for climate control products, which were once deemed luxury items.
Europe appears to be particularly exposed and vulnerable to climate change, with many countries, including the U.K., France and Spain, witnessing heat waves in recent weeks, most notably at the end of June.
European countries have reported more than 10,000 excess deaths during the record-breaking heatwave that engulfed the west of the continent in late June, official data showed recently.
The vast majority, or more than 9,000, were among people aged 65 and above, according to data published by EuroMOMO, a network backed by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the World Health Organization (WHO).
