Humidex Mortality Curves

Caption

These graphs show how mortality odds change with increasing humidex for each of the 10 Washington climate zones. Four climate zones (highlighted) had statistically significant higher odds of mortality with increasing humidex. Other climate zones didn’t necessarily lack risk, but lacked enough data to produce a statistically certain trend.
