Zaidi ya vifo vya ziada 40,000 vilitokea katika siku zenye joto kali zaidi nchini Uingereza kati ya 1988 na 2025, kulingana na takwimu zilizotolewa Jumatano na Ofisi ya Taifa ya Takwimu (ONS). Takwimu hizi zinaonyesha athari zinazozidi kuongezeka za joto kali, zikiwakilisha vifo vilivyo juu ya viwango vya kawaida vinavyotarajiwa katika kipindi hicho cha miaka 37. Seti ya takwimu ya ONS haijumuishi msimu wa joto wa 2026, ambapo Uingereza imeshuhudia mawimbi ya joto ya mara kwa mara na inaendelea kuelekea kurekodi idadi yake kubwa zaidi kuwahi kutokea ya vifo vinavyohusiana na joto. Wakala wa Usalama wa Afya wa Uingereza ulitangaza hapo awali tarehe 30 Julai kwamba takriban watu 2,877 walifariki dunia wakati wa mawimbi ya joto mnamo Mei na Juni 2026 pekee. Idadi hiyo ya miezi miwili ya kwanza ya msimu wa joto ni karibu mara mbili ya vifo vilivyorekodiwa kutokana na mawimbi ya joto kwa msimu mzima wa joto wa 2025.
