The x-axis represents the mean for the period with the y-axis showing the extent of deviation around that mean (as standard deviations). Actual values are shown for the peak days/hours (developed from data sourced from: Defra, Rainchester.com, Accuweather, Met Office, Manchester Evening News and the BBC) Fig. 2.7 Complex interactions of high temperature events with environmental stressors and health effects.
