Extreme Heat Linked to 40,000 Deaths in England
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Squirrel says this isn't just weather—it's a preventable public health crisis made worse by inaction.
💡 Why it matters
Without urgent climate adaptation, extreme heat will continue to claim tens of thousands of lives annually in England and beyond.
New ONS data reveals over 40,000 excess deaths in England on hottest days from 1988 to 2025. This summer is on track for record heat-related mortality with 2,877 estimated deaths in May and June alone.
