The toll is climbing. From my climate hangout, with a comment by the poster. bbc.com ‘Deadly heat wave kills 33 across southern Quebec’ “The sweltering weather began last Friday with temperatures hitting 35C (95F) and high humidity.” Some people might read that and think 95F isn’t that high, but when I lived in Aberdeen, Scotland for a year in 1979, during a brief heat wave it got up to 74F. It’s so far north and usually much cooler that 6 elderly people in town died of heat stroke. So part of it depends on what people are used to. Unfortunately the article does not specify what the humidity was, an important component in determining the wet bulb temperature.
