Recently, the Slovak Statistical Office released a report saying that in 2026, 12 people have died directly due to high temperatures in the country, a record high in the past ten years. The Bureau of Statistics pointed out that high temperatures may indirectly cause death by worsening chronic diseases or other diseases, which is difficult to reflect in direct cause of death statistics. Research by the World Health Organization and relevant experts shows that extreme heat increases the health risks of people with cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic diseases, and diabetes.
