This summer, Europe has faced some of its most extreme temperatures, with thermometers reaching record high temperatures over several consecutive heatwaves.
The scorching weather has caused thousands of excess deaths, strained healthcare facilities and highlighted the need for better preparedness going forward.
Extreme temperatures can have dangerous health consequences, with heat exhaustion, heatstroke and dehydration being among the most common.
However, researchers have identified more than 30 diagnoses associated with high temperatures, ones that show a significant increase during periods of intense heat.
The research, published in the journal Science Advances, found strong links to under-recognised problems such as multiple sclerosis flare-ups, skin eruptions and various physical injuries.
