Record-breaking heat waves in France this summer caused the deaths of nearly 1,500 people, according to the country’s health ministry.

The pair of hellish heat waves hit the country in June and July with the highest temperature — 114.8 degrees Fahrenheit — recorded in the country at Verargues in the south on June 28.

A total of 1,465 more people than usual died in those months, sending the death rate soaring 9.1 percent on average for that period.

However, France’s Minister of Health Agnes Buzyn said the figure was a significantly lower number of deaths compared to France’s heat wave in the summer of 2003 that killed 15,000 people.

“The 2003 heat wave lasted 20 days. We had 18 days in two waves and we managed to cut mortality by a factor of 10 thanks to preventative measures,” Buzyn told France Info and France Inter radio stations.

This summer, France — along with much of Europe — was blasted by ferocious heat.

The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany were among countries that reached new record temperatures.
