Dr Radhika Khosla and Dr Laurence Wainwright were quoted in the Daily Mail on the health and mental health impacts of heatwaves. "Spikes in relative humidity also result in a higher occurrence of suicide. Learning to adapt to the increasing frequency of heatwaves brought by climate change will mean taking account of all its impacts – including on our state of mind," said Dr Wainwright.

Dr Khosla warned that populations in urban areas like London are "particularly susceptible to extreme heat as the concrete and asphalt absorb and re-emit the sun's radiation, amplifying its impact on our bodies. For this reason, outdoor workers are particularly at risk and should take regular breaks to hydrate in the shade."
