Austria's Deadly Summer: 995 Heat Deaths Set Grim Record
AGES cautioned that the numbers are statistical estimates for the whole period, not a tally of individual heat deaths. Heat can affect mortality for days afterward, and data delays may lead to later revisions.
The toll coincided with Austria's hottest summer in 260 years of records, with new highs at more than 100 GeoSphere Austria stations. The mercury passed 41C (105.8F) for the first time, hitting 41.2C (106.2F) at Bad Deutsch-Altenburg on Aug. 5. It topped 40C on three days, and Austria logged a record number of heat days.
