Extreme summer heat could lead to more than 5,000 deaths
"Around 3 million people aged 65 and above in the UK are among the greatest at risk of becoming ill because they are living in properties between 45 and 80 years old that are most likely to overheat.
More than 488,000 households headed by someone aged 65 and above report their home overheating during summer months while national surveys have found that 1.9 million (8%) of all households report at least one part of their home gets uncomfortably hot."
