🧠 AI SUMMARY
Key points — generated by Claude AI
✓
Despite record temperatures (38°C peak, 16.1°C mean) and four heatwaves in summer 2025, heat-related mortality decreased, suggesting improved public health preparedness and heat-health alert systems are effective
✓
The sustained high temperatures across multiple heatwave events did not translate to expected excess deaths, indicating population adaptation and potentially better awareness of heat risks among vulnerable groups
✓
Current UK heat mitigation strategies warrant continued investment, as they appear to be successfully protecting population health even during unprecedented thermal stress
