Sizzle? But seriously, don’t mess with this heat. Stay in the shade, drink water and keep an eye out for older neighbours. Homes can overheat and overheating can lead to serious health problems. My report last year revealed we’re not ready for overheating. https://www.london.gov.uk//people/assembly/caroline-russell/publication-caroline-russell-climate-change-risks-london-report-behalf-caroline-russell https://twitter.com/eveningstandard/status/1291642756188770306
For example: Two thirds of London flats could experience overheating (temp over 28°C) by 2030s
For every 1°C increase over 20°C ambulance call outs increase by 1 per cent
For every 1°C increase over 20°C ambulance call outs increase by 1 per cent
And in the most vulnerable districts in London, the odds of dying from cardiorespiratory causes increases by more than 10 percent for every 1°C increase in temperature, compared with virtually no effect in the most resilient districts
Climate breakdown is a public health issue.
