London School Of Tropical Medicine - Expect Tripling+ Of UK Heat Deaths As Climate Destabilizes

The number of people dying from hot weather will soar by over 250% within the next 40 years, experts have said.

Deaths will be a direct result of climate change and population growth, researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Public Health England have found.

The number of people dying from the hot weather in England and Wales will increase by 257% by 2050, according to the research - published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

Areas at highest risk are the south and the Midlands, with people aged over 75 also in greater danger. Last year around 750 people were killed in England alone during a nine-day heatwave that hit the UK.
