Health effects of climate change in the UK : Department of Health - Publications
The biggest danger to health, and the most likely to occur, is a major heatwave. The report predicts a heatwave will occur by 2012, causing between 3,000 and 10,000 deaths. Scientists put the odds of a heatwave in the south-east of England by that time at around 1 in 40. The report says: "In terms of conventional thinking about risks to health, 1 in 40 is high.” A French heatwave in 2003 caused the deaths of an estimated 14,000 people, most of them elderly.
However, it was published by the Labour government on the 1st April 2001.
I'm ordering a new barbeque and a lorry load of chilled beer in anticipation.
In fact there was an unusual heatwave in 2003 during which more people than usual over the period died.

The UK Health Protection Agency estimated 3000 extra deaths due to heat in 2003.
