However, increasing levels of heat do lead to heat stroke and dehydration, with resulting stress on our cardiovascular, respiratory and cerebrovascular systems.

The Grantham Institute – Imperial College London’s hub for climate change and the environment – has advocated nine relatively simple things that we can do at an individual level to reduce the impact of climate change.
