Over 2,500 cold-related deaths in England during winter 2024–2025, mostly among older adults, with a sharp spike in early January.
The UK Health Security Agency reports 2,544 cold-related deaths in England during winter 2024–2025, with the largest spike—1,630 deaths—during a six-day cold snap in early January.
Older adults, especially those over 85, were most at risk, with circulatory diseases causing the most deaths (834).
Most fatalities occurred in hospitals, but relative risk was higher for people in care homes or who died at home.
Mortality peaked five days after cold exposure and remained elevated for up to nine days.
The report, based on statistical modeling of temperature and death data, highlights growing vulnerability linked to aging populations, poor housing, and fuel poverty, urging stronger winter preparedness and support for at-risk groups.
