The number of extra deaths as a result of high temperatures cannot be measured precisely and is based on an estimation with a margin of error.
The estimated number of extra deaths per degree of temperature increase is 31, with a margin of plus or minus 8. The calculation of the number of extra deaths is based on a delay of two days between the development in the temperature and the development in the number of deaths.
