The year 2003 was a time of extreme cold in the winter. Extreme, that is by European standards. In Britainalone, the number of people who died from cold-related illnesses was described as shameful. Nearly twenty-fivethousand people died from illnesses such as strokes, heart attacks, bronchitis, flu and pneumonia. Each of thesedeaths were though to have been caused by the cold weather. A campaign called The cold can kill was launched togive people advice on how to survive the effects of t he cold wheather and freezing temperatures.

In the summer of t he same year, around twenty-three thousand people died in Europe due to the sizzlingtemperatures. France was particulary badly hit, with nearly fifteen thousand death which were related to thesweltering heat.

Thisadvice warned that it only took two consecituve days of high temperatures to have significant effects on peopleshealth. It said that people who became overheated and dehydrated ran the risk of irreversible damage to the body oreven death.
