The planet was on fire this summer, especially in areas that had little to no access to air conditioning.
Security Agency recorded 43,755 non-covid related deaths for people who were 65 years and older. That’s 2,809 more deaths than were expected for that time period.
According to the analysis, England saw an estimated 1,012 in excess deaths in people 65 and over between July 17 and July 20. The country saw 1,458 excess deaths in the same age range from August 8 to August 17. The Office for National Statistics found that the number of deaths decreased after the heat alerts throughout the summer, which helped the office deduce that the spike in non-covid related deaths were caused by the hot days, according to The Guardian.
“These estimates show clearly that high temperatures can lead to premature death for those who are vulnerable,” Isabel Oliver, the chief scientific officer at UKHSA said in a statement. “Higher excess deaths occurred during the hottest days this year and a warming climate means we must adapt to living safely with hotter summers in the future.”
