Contributed a comment and talked through this piece a while back. Great to see it out. Important findings for England mirroring what we see in other countries and raising questions on vulnerability.

I really like writing and helping contribute to work like this.

Chart showing neighbourhoods in England that are home to more minority-ethnic people are far more likely to face extreme heat. Proportion of neighbourhoods in England with the highest heat hazard scores in each decile of minority-ethnic population. Each bar represents 10% of English neighbourhoods, ranked by their proportion of minority-ethnic inhabitants, from the highest (top bar) to the lowest (bottom bar). The “highest heat hazard scores” equate to the top 10% of total English neighbourhoods that are most likely to experience high temperatures during hot weather.
