## Resource

The Netherlands just reported over 3,500 deaths linked to a brutal June heatwave — mostly among the elderly — as relentless “tropical nights” left temperatures barely dipping below 20°C, straining bodies already struggling to cope. The RIVM’s model predicted 3,050 deaths, but the actual toll hit 3,530, revealing just how deadly extreme heat can be — especially for older adults and those with health issues. Regions in the east and south bore the brunt, underscoring the human cost of climate extremes.
