00:00We know that heatwaves are one of the most dangerous forms of extreme weather that there is.
00:06It might be more obvious when people die as a result of a flood or a storm or a wildfire,
00:11but actually extreme heat kills a lot more people, especially in Europe.
00:15And what our study has found is that during the heatwaves that we experienced in May and June,
00:20there were around 2,700 excess heat-related deaths,
00:24and around 40% of those wouldn't have been expected to happen in the absence of climate change.
