Number of excess winter deaths (11162) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of extra deaths attributable to winter. It is calculated using deaths from all causes including those that had COVID-19 mentioned on the death certificate.
The ONS standard method defines the winter period as December to March, and compares the number of deaths that occurred in this winter period with the average number of deaths occurring in the preceding August to November and the following April to July.
Excess winter mortality = winter deaths - average non-winter death. This produces the number of excess winter deaths, which is then rounded to the nearest 10 for final data. Totals will not always be equal to the sum of their parts due to rounding.
Provisional figures at country and region level, are produced for the most recent winter using estimation methods, and so are rounded to the nearest 100 deaths. Data post 2019/20 should be treated with caution due to high numbers of deaths from COVID-19 in the summer period.
Alternatively, figures are available for deaths excluding COVID-19 calculated using all cause deaths that did not have COVID-19 mentioned on the death certificate.
