"Germany has recorded an estimated 5,120 heat-related deaths so far this year, most of them in late June.
A majority of the deaths - around 4,270 - were among people aged 75 and older, the RKI said in a weekly report. More women than men died, mainly because they make up a higher share of the very elderly."
