France has recorded about 1,000 excess deaths this week because of an “exceptional” heat wave that’s continuing to scorch Europe.

Record temperatures pushed daily deaths above 1,400 on Thursday and Friday, from 900 to 1,000 per day in April and May, Santé Publique France said in a statement Sunday.

The figures are likely to be revised higher because they’re based on digital certificates, which typically account for about 60% of fatalities nationwide, the public health authority said.

In Germany, a new nighttime temperature record was reported Sunday from Kubschütz, in eastern Saxony, where the temperature did not drop below 29.4 degrees Celsius (84.9 Fahrenheit).

The nightly record came only hours after a daytime record of 41.5 C (106.7 F) in Möckern-Drewitz in Saxony-Anhalt, according to preliminary data by the German Weather Service DWD. The previous record was set a day earlier.

A new study from the World Weather Attribution, a Europe-based collaboration of scientists, reported Friday that the record-breaking heat and humidity in Europe this week would not have been possible without climate change.

The rapid study found that the heat would have been virtually impossible just five decades ago, and is 200 times more likely today than it would have been 20 years ago.
