The burden of heat-related mortality in Madrid: a hundred-year journey
The association between ambient temperatures and health outcomes was extensively studied in the past decades, especially in the light of exacerbating climate change. Yet long-term studies focusing on the analysis of the changes of mortality answers to extreme heat are rare, particularly in the Mediterranean region. Minimum Mortality, or so-called Optimum temperatures are increasingly used to assess the levels of adaptation to changing temperatures. The warming of the air temperatures in Spain affected the entire national territory since the turn of the XX century. However, the number of studies exploring the evolution of adaptation to heat and relying on multidecadal time-series data in Spain at any administrative level is very limited. To our knowledge, the present research is the first one to leverage daily mortality and temperature data in the city of Madrid since the end of the XIX century until today.
