Abstract
It is well established that extreme heat increases the risk of mortality. During the exceptionally hot summer of 2022, an estimated 61,672 heat-related deaths occurred across 35 European countries, including approximately 3,000 excess deaths due to heatwaves in England. As the climate continues to warm, periods of extreme heat are becoming more frequent and intense.
In this report, we estimate the expected excess deaths from exposure to heat during the first heatwave of 2025 in England and Wales, specifically between 19-22 June at small geographic scales.
