The study reported that the heat mortality 'trigger temperature' is 32°C for Alicante, a threshold reached on 17% of days per year.
Notes on verification
Two independent Spanish news outlets report identical figures (32°C trigger temperature, 17% of days/year for Alicante), both citing the same ISCIII/Environmental Research study led by Díaz and Linares. Figures are consistent across sources with no contradictions found.
