Deaths Rose Sharply This September Compared to Prior Septembers (More Than 10% Higher Than in 2020)
Filed under: Deaths across the UK are very concerning. We’ve not seen numbers like these before. I wrote about it at the start of this week because the trend isn’t limited to summer. The heatwaves cannot be blamed for it. It’s so bad that mortality in my age group rose 10% (yes, 10%!) and now have complete figures for September 2022 (update and released 2 days ago). This is what it looks like.
September 2018 deaths by week in England and Wales:
9,445 9,191 9,305 9,150
September 2019 deaths by week in England and Wales:
9,695 9,513 9,440 9,517
September 2020 deaths by week in England and Wales:
7,739 9,811 9,523 9,634
September 2021 deaths by week in England and Wales:

September 2022 deaths by week in England and Wales:
