Health experts have stated that in the UK alone there can be a 50 per cent rise in the number of heat-related deaths due to climate change.

The Health Protection Agency, HPA, stated that due to heat waves about 11,000 people would have died by 2080 and there would be an increase of 2000 deaths as compared to now.

There can be various diseases migrating to the UK due to a rise in temperature like dengue fever and chikungunya carried by mosquitoes.

Hay fever can also get prolonged with each year as the pollen season will start early and end late.

A report by HPA also stated that the burden created by diseases due to cold weather will be reduced by the year 2080 as there will an increase of 2C to 5C.

There will also be more premature deaths and by 2020s these will rise by about 70 per cent and in the next 70 years these deaths will rise by 540 per cent.

HPA chairman Dr David Heymann said, "There is no doubt that climate change poses a wide range of challenges to public health in the UK. From increased risks of heatwaves through to potentially greater exposure to air pollution, indoors and outdoors, and potential changes to established pollen seasons, there are many issues, all of which need further research and attention if we are to adapt to or mitigate the effects."
