That study by the CDC National Center(I know!) for Health Statistics Compressed Mortality Database includes seasonal deaths from things like Winter flu rather than as a result of just cold weather.
Why do you keep referring to the weather we’ve had over the last month or so negatively?By the time this awful weather ends, we'll all be experts on the Jetstream.
For weeks now, the UK's weather has been unsettled - with widespread rain, cooler temperatures and an autumnal feel.
This is all while much of southern Europe has been enduring dangerous, back-to-back heatwaves that have seen temperatures top 40C and large wildfires.
The two are linked - and crucially it's down to where the jet stream is. So how long will this weather last?
(if you read the next paragraph you might kill yourself :-( )
It looks as though the unsettled weather will continue through much of August, says Gemma.
"There are signs that more prolonged drier, and slightly warmer, weather is possible later in the month, but more likely into September."

It’s not awful. Rain is great! It’s lovely to be out in it, and it's great for our crops (although does increase the number of slugs).

In this article, we evaluate (in £s) the impact of rain or water on crop growth and show the importance of each extra mm of water.
It’s cool out there for Summer, but it’s still shorts weather but not hot which fatigues you and makes everyone stink of sweat. Parks are quieter, fewer people out walking on the roads, everywhere looks more lush and green than when we have the brown grass of a hot Summer.
Proper British Summer, lovely!
The only bad point is that it stopped us winning The Ashes.
Agreed worst July I can remember and August doesn't look great until the middle of the month!
