The Northern Hemisphere is attributing an increase in mortality to seasonal variation, specifically warmer weather.

As Europe is in the grips of a heatwave, Australia is experiencing a 20% increase in mortality rate from this time last year according to the ABS, where some parts of Australia are experiencing the coldest weather for close to a century.

Subsequently, this coincides with a massive increase in deaths, which can't be attributed to 'wet-bulb' heat exposure.
