It is very hot in Austria. In June and July, 646 people die from the heat. This is a new record. Experts from the AGES calculate this. They use data about weather and deaths.
Many days have more than 40 degrees. In Wieselburg, it is 40,3 degrees in July. In Bad Deutsch-Altenburg, it is even 41,2 degrees. The strong heat harms health a lot. Hospitals and care homes have big problems. More than 70 percent of these homes suffer from strong heat.
Korinna Schumann is the health minister. She wants to find the problem areas. The government wants to help people in care homes. The organisation WWF also worries. It demands more protection for nature. Trees and water help against the great heat. This keeps the country cooler.
