abstract="A study of monthly mortality in Palermo by the Serfling's method showed a peak of excess deaths in winter 80-81 and two unexpected peaks in June-July 82 and July 83. Extramortality in the summer period could be attributed to hot weather, since in the two periods several consecutive days of high (greater than = 37 degrees C) maximum temperature were recorded. The possibility of summer temperatures monitoring for a public health action is discussed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
