BACKGROUND To determine the linear and non-linear interacting relationships between weather factors and hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in children in Gansu, China, and gain further traction as an early warning signal based on weather variability for HFMD transmission. METHOD Weekly HFMD cases aged less than 15 and meteorological information from 2010 to 2014 in Jiuquan, Lanzhou and Tians...

This paper presents the development of a prototype weather station to measure the following weather data: air temperature, relative humidity, dew point, wind speed, and rainfall. The weather station, which has been designed for remote operation, performs automatic or unmanned measurements of weather data and transmits it wirelessly to a PC for logging and display by means of a graphical user in...

Recent research exploring associations between environmental factors and influenza outcomes has devoted substantial attention to the role of absolute humidity. However, the existing literature provides very little quantitative epidemiologic evidence on the relations between absolute humidity and other weather variables and influenza outcomes in human populations. In the present study, the autho...

abstract forecasting electrical energy demand and consumption is one of the important decision-making tools in distributing companies for making contracts scheduling and purchasing electrical energy. this paper studies load consumption modeling in hamedan city province distribution network by applying esn neural network. weather forecasting data such as minimum day temperature, average day temp...

It is well known that low relative humidity is an ingredient that leads to higher fire danger due to the relatively rapid response of fine fuels to atmospheric humidity. Rapid fluctuations in relative humidity, though, have not been addressed extensively in fire weather studies or operations, perhaps partly due to the difficulty of observing such fluctuations and the even greater difficulty in ...

The first geostationary sensors produced dramatic images of storms on short time scales, permitting their evolution to be monitored as never before. Prediction of weather now benefits from numerical weather prediction models, which require temperature and humidity inputs from soundings. Significant weather is often located in cloudy areas where infrared (IR) soundings are degraded or fail, and ...

Dengue fever is a major health problem in Vietnam, but its incidence differs from province to province. To understand this at the local level, we assessed the effect of four weather components (humidity, rainfall, temperature and sunshine) on the number of dengue cases in nine provinces of Vietnam. Monthly data from 1999 to 2009 were analysed by time-series regression using negative binomial mo...

In hot weather, humidity content affects adversely the human body. It causes body fatigue and slowness in metabolism by excessive sweating and increased body temperature. If the relative humidity rate is 100% , there won't be sweating and the body temperature will rise. The rise in body temperature can lead people to death. Moreover, high amounts of CO2 in the air accelerate fatigue. Reach of i...

The effects of air temperature, relative and specific humidity, wind speed, solar shortwave radiation, thermal longwave radiation, and rain on the performance of participants in the annual Stockholm Marathon from 1980 to 2008 were analysed statistically. The objective was to validate and extend previous studies by including data on finishing times of slower male and female runners and on the pe...
