p < 0.05 was regarded significant (bold type).
T—temperature, R—rainfall (precipitation), P—athmospheric pressure; Δ_d2—change within two days, Δ_d3—change within three days, T_range: daily range of temperature, T_{range_max}: maximum temperature range within two days (T_{range_max_a} = T_{max_yesterday} − T_{min_today)}, T_{range_max_b} = T_{max_today} − T_{min_yesterday}), inc—increase, decr—decrease, p—p value, RR—relative risk, CI—confidence interval.
