Warmer summers in Southeast England likely to lead to an increase in deaths

Warmer summers brought on by climate change will cause more deaths in London and southeast England than the rest of the country, scientists predict.Researchers at Imperial College London looked at temperature records and mortality figures for 2001 to 2010 to find out which districts in England and Wales experience the biggest effects from warm temperatures.In the most vulnerable districts, in London and the southeast, the odds of dying from cardiovascular or respiratory causes increased by over 10 per cent for every 1C rise in temperature.
