Methods to Estimate Acclimatization to the Urban Heat Island Effects on Heat- and Cold-Related Mortality

Conclusions: We have proposed two analytical methods for estimating the degree of acclimatization to the heat- and cold-related mortality burdens associated with UHI. The results for London suggest relatively complete acclimatization to the UHI effect on summer heat-related mortality, but less clear evidence for cold.
