1,500 of the 2,300 deaths linked to Europe’s 2025 heatwave were attributed to climate change. Heatwaves are changing daily life, but not everyone can stay safe equally. Read more from @oxfordgeography.bsky.social's Shiv Yucel ⬇️ bit.ly/4ueyyAr
The image shows a city street at dusk with illuminated temperature displays reading +37°C and +31°C at a bus stop or roadside sign. A scooter rider passes in the blurred background. Overlaid text reads: “Heatwaves are now everyday disasters - governments need to do more to protect people” followed by “ox.ac.uk/news | University of Oxford”.

⭐ Fantastic to see recent work w/ @timschwanen.bsky.social featured as a Research Highlight in the latest issue of Nature Climate Change. In this work, we examine how people across the Pacific Northwest of North America adapt their various everyday activities to cope with the threat of heatwaves.
