Europe is experiencing a dangerous heat wave with temperatures exceeding 40 Celsius in parts of England and Wales, against a backdrop of 200,000 heat deaths across the continent in the past four years. The scale of preventable mortality is staggering.

It means heat is killing roughly the population of a mid-sized city every year across Europe, and it's treated as a weather event rather than a public health emergency. The current heat wave is the new normal becoming worse.
