Overall 1,485 cases of death from brain strokes because of changes in meteorological factors were analyzed. It has been established that the rise of the percentage of relative humidity (over 85%) and atmospheric pressure (over 970 mb) produces an increase of the number of daily average cases of death from brain stroke, with the maximum death falling within the first and second day after weather changes.
