Heatwaves, for example, mean increased UV exposure, which the UK Department of Health and Social Care predicts will result in // a gradual increase in the number of cases of skin cancer and cataracts over the next few decades. Vector-borne disease – that’s // diseases transmitted
by mosquitoes and ticks – would also be on the increase due to higher temperatures. Crowded conditions in temporary shelters only
further increase // the risk of the spread of infectious disease.
