Abstract
The seasonal variation in all admissions of all types of cerebrovascular disease within the West Midlands Region was examined between the years 1973-1980. There was a fluctuation for both sexes with a peak in winter, between the months of October and April; a trough was observed in late summer, in July and August. Multivariate analysis of the meteorological factors showed an association between hours of sunshine and intracerebral haemorrhage. The meterological variables were strongly correlated with each other making the selection of the most predictable variable to stroke difficult.
