Cold weather kills more people than hot weather, says a new study. Researchers looked into 74 million deaths between 1985 and 2012 in 13 countries where there was a wide variety of climate, from chilly to subtropical.
They matched these against data on temperatures, the average death rates and factors such as humidity and air pollution, which can affect mortality.
A total of 7.7 percent of the deaths were related to the impact of "sub-optimal" temperatures, but almost all of that number 7....
