In the hot season, at a daily mean temperature of 28.2°C, every 1°C increase was associated with an estimated 1.8% increase in mortality. Cardiovascular and respiratory infection related deaths were most connected to high temperature effects. During our research period (1998-2006), more than one-fifth of that time saw a daily mean temperature higher than the threshold of 28.2°C. In the cold season, when there was a 1°C drop in daily mean temperature, the subsequent three weeks had a 3.8% cumulative increase in mortality. Older people were particularly vulnerable.
