Super El Nino: The methodology behind '15,800 excess deaths' in India estimate

Super El Nino Deaths: A University of Chicago Energy Policy Institute report projects that a ‘super El Nino’ could cause around 15,800 additional heat-related deaths in India over the next six months. Researchers say the estimate uses seasonal temperature forecasts and established temperature-mortality relationships, while experts caution that the mortality figures are model-based projections and urge stronger heat preparedness and action.
