Abstract
Introduction
Climate change can lead to modifications in the frequency, intensity and duration of extreme weather events (IPCC, 2007). According to the IPCC (2007) it is very likely that we will see a decrease of cold days and nights and an increase of warm days and nights during this century. Heatwaves are becoming more frequent and there is an association with increases in mortality (IPCC, 2007). On the other hand, cold spells though more frequent in higher latitudes also affect countries with milder winters, were people are less adapted to cold (Eurowinter Group, 1997; Healy, 2003).
