    Extreme weather, including cold and hot temperatures with sunshine, increases reported respiratory illnesses. These weather patterns impact general practitioner service usage, highlighting a link between environmental conditions and health.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Health
    • Public Health
    • General Practice

    Background:

    • Weather conditions can influence healthcare utilization.
    • Respiratory illnesses are common and impact primary care services.
    • Understanding environmental impacts on health is crucial for public health planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between weather patterns and the use of general practitioner services.
    • To identify specific weather conditions associated with increased respiratory illness episodes.

    Main Results:

    • Extremes of weather, both low temperatures in winter and high temperatures in summer, were associated with an increase in reported respiratory illness episodes.
    • Sunshine during temperature extremes appeared to exacerbate the effect on respiratory illness reporting.

    Conclusions:

    • Weather, particularly temperature extremes and sunshine, significantly influences the incidence of reported respiratory illnesses.
    • These findings suggest a need to consider environmental factors in managing primary healthcare resources for respiratory conditions.
