Swiss TPH "Heat-related deaths in Switzerland have been closely monitored since 1980, revealing alarming trends linked to rising summer temperatures. Our new report identified 542 heat-related deaths in the summer of 2023, with the highest rates in Ticino, the Lake Geneva region and Basel-Stadt. Around 95% of these deaths affected people aged 75 and over, and nearly two-thirds were women. While some adaptation to heat appears to be possible, the mortality rate on very hot days continues to rise due to the increase in such days."
