The French data were published by the INSEE Statistics Institute on 2 September and disseminated by the newspaper Le Monde in the news entitled “The canicule ‘vraisemblablement’ à l’origine of 11 000 supplémentaires in France cet été” (The heat of this summer has probably caused 11,000 deaths). These conclusions have been reached by sociologists comparing, on the one hand, the number of people killed in the Hexagon between June 1 and August 22, 2022 and, on the other hand, what happened in the same period in 2019. According to the newspaper, the INSEE report does not specify the exact causes of these additional deaths, but it cautiously assures that these figures are explained by hot flashes that are likely to have started in mid-June and that they have been repeated.
Based on this hypothesis, the statistics institute states that the three summits that France has known this summer in the deaths appear chronologically related to the three warings that have occurred, namely one around 19 June, another around 19 July and the third on 4 August first and 13-11 afterwards.
In the media of the French State, unlike those of Spain, the INSEE has pointed out that this year there have been a large number of deaths in the great heat period of 2003 and a situation comparable to that.
In the case of Spain, the Spanish public radio television RTVE has published in early September ("Sexual deaths in Spain triple the average of the last five years") that the average number of deaths in recent years has tripled in 2022 by the heat. The RTVE has been based on the calculations made on the mortality of the population of the Carlos III Institute of reference in epidemiology and statistical analysis (MoMo model). According to this, over 4,700 people, of whom 3,800 have been killed this year in the Spanish State by heat. As in France, sociologists have found a direct relationship between the days when deaths especially increased and the heat episodes that summer has had.
In the case of Euskal Herria, Iparralde's data do not appear in the news of Le Monde based on French Statistics. Yes, on the other hand, in the South Carlos III. Data from the Institute. According to them, in the summer of 2022, in Navarre 17.8 out of every 100,000 inhabitants died from heat, in Bizkaia 8.8, in Álava 7.8 and in Gipuzkoa 1.8.
