The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has published data on climate-related mortality in England and Wales, covering periods from 1988 to 2025. The report examines the relative risk of all-cause mortality and estimated deaths linked to the hottest and coldest 2.5% of daily mean temperatures across regions. It includes modelled analysis adjusted for coronavirus (COVID-19) impacts, demographic breakdowns, and underlying causes of death. The methodology guide explains how the statistics are produced, their quality, and comparability. The data aims to support understanding temperature-related health risks and inform policy decisions. Further details and contact information for the Climate and Health team are provided for inquiries.
