abstract="In 151 patients, admitted to an intensive care unit after attempted suicide, the possible influence of weather at the time of the attempt was analysed retrospectively. The &quot;biosynoptic daily analysis&quot; of the German Weather Service provided the weather data. There was a 5% and 1%, respectively, significant level for the positive correlation between the time of the attempted suicide and the weather parameters &quot;stable upslide, labile upslide, fog and thunderstorm&quot; and the summarized parameters &quot;warm air, upslide and weather drier than on the two preceding days&quot;. Significantly fewer attempts than expected occurred when the weather description was &quot;low pressure and trough situation, labile ground layer--upslide above&quot; and the summarized parameters &quot;subsidence or downslide motion&quot;. Besides the individual factors such as the reaction to conflicts and the spectrum of reactions, exogenous factors like weather must be considered as important for the time of suicidal attempt.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
