Abstract

In Singapore, an island city state in the tropics, climatic variables like sunlight, windspeed, temperature, rainfall and humidity are significantly correlated with subgroups of suicidal subjects such as Malays, young adults and youths. In the young age group (0-19 years) the relationship between meteorological factors and suicide appear to be greater than in the other two groups.
