Summary
The importance of weather forecasts relies on a variety of activities and users, including weather warnings to protect life and property, agriculture, management and planning of outdoor events etc. The association between meteorological conditions and human health is an important aspect that has been widely studied. Royé et al [1,2] indicated that apparent temperature [3] has a strong non-linear relationship with Ischemic Stroke and cardiovascular health. Associations between temperature and cardiovascular mortality have been reported by Basu et al [4], while Alessandrini et al [5] showed a strong relationship between biometeorological conditions and ambulance dispatches in Emilia–Romagna, Italy. Alessandrini et al [5] found that ambulance dispatches increase 1.45% (non-traumatic diseases) and 2.74% (respiratory diseases) for every 1°C increase in the mean apparent temperature between 25° and 30°C. An overall increase of 0.9% in mortality per 1°C increase in AT was observed by Wichmann [6] and, more recently, Niu et al [7] showed that low and high AT are significant risk factors of mental and behavioral disorders
