Interestingly, it says that those periods were followed by periods of lower than average deaths, suggesting that some people that were just about to die, died a week or two sooner, rather than people dying that wouldn’t have died if it hadn’t been hot.
It would be more informative, if less headline worthy, to know what the stats for the whole summer were, not just the defined ‘heat-wave’ periods and see if there were actually any excess deaths.
Key stats in this article:
“This means that the 3,000 extra deaths seen during the hottest days only go a small way to explaining the high rates of deaths seen this summer.
In England and Wales, there were about 16,000 more deaths from June to August than we might expect based on previous summers.”
How many excess deaths is this winter going to bring ?
And your still worried about the few hot days we had?
Cloud cuckoo land this country!
If it’s the hot weather to blame why did excess deaths start in early 2021?
Saw some doctor talking about it recently on his YT channel, the idea that 35 degrees is lethal seems rather nonsense. Countries would forbid their older citizens from retiring in Spain for their own safety if that was the case. Very illogical conclusion, there is something else going on with these excess deaths all over Europe.
Only 6.% jump in record breaking year is very good.
In normal year you would expect about 800 heat related deaths.
You would expect around 60,000 from cold.
A childish obsession with global warming is causing a blindness to the real very real danger of the cold especially this year.
We can hope gloabl warming gives us a mild winter.
Before some genius comments that gloabl warming causes harsher winters in Britain that is simply not true.
Winters have been getting progressively milder as the gloabl climate warms over last hundred years.
Inb4 what about jet stream as well.
Not interested in your fantastical predictions of a complex system that magically all end in climate catastrophe.
