“…By using monthly data in our previous reports [3,4], mean temperature of maximum air temperatures in a month was closely associated ambulance transports in Takamatsu area (r = 0.738, p = 0.0017) [3] and also in Okayama area, Japan (r = 0.722, p = 0.0024) [4]. By using daily data, the highest air temperature was significantly correlated with total ambulance transports in Osaka area (r = 0.347, p = 0.0007) [5]. We also found, by ecological study, that the correlation coefficient between mean of the highest air temperature and ambulance transports due to heat stroke in 47 prefectures in August, 2009 was the highest [6].…”

“…Higher air temperature was closely associ-ated with higher ambulance transports by monthly data in Takamatsu [3] and Okayama [4] areas, Japan. By using daily data, significant relationship between high air temperature and high ambulance transports was noted in Osaka area in August, 2009, Japan [5]. In addition, we explored, by ecological study, the link between high air temperatures and ambulance transports due to heat stroke in 47 prefectures, Japan [6].…”

To investigate the link between higher air temperature and ambulance transports due to heat stroke, especially in elderly subjects, using daily data in Saitama prefecture in August, 2010, Japan. We obtained daily data of air temperature in Saitama prefecture in August, 2010, Japan from Japan Meteorological Agency. Number of ambulance transports due to heat stroke was also used by Saitama prefecture official website. The effect of high air temperature on ambulance transports due to heat stroke was evaluated. A total of 1688 ambulance transports due to heat stroke was observed in Saitama prefecture in August, 2010, Japan. Seven hundred and twenty one subjects (42.7%) were over the age of 65. Mean air temperature, the highest air temperature and day light hours were significantly associated with ambulance transports due to heat stroke in total subjects (mean air temperature: r = 0.749, p < 0.0001) and the over the age of 7. In addition, by separate analysis as classified by age groups, the correlation coefficient between ambulance transports due to heat stroke and mean air temperature was the highest in subjects with over 65. However, the lowest air temperature was not correlated with ambulance transports due to heat stroke. Higher air temperature was closely associated with higher ambulance transports due to heat stroke using daily data in Saitama prefecture in August, 2010, Japan, especially in elderly subjects.

“…However, we could not prove the global warming at Showa base in Antarctica [3] and Hachijo island [1]. In addition, higher air temperature was closely associated with higher total ambulance transports in Japan [4,5]. Therefore, accurate evaluation of the changes in air temperature is urgently required in various sites in Japan.…”

We evaluated the climate change in Wakkanai area, which is located at most northern part and typically rural area in Japan. Climate parameters i.e. atmospheric pressure, air temperature, humidity, velocity, daylight hours and snow fall were obtained from Japan Meteorological Agency. Positive changes in parameters in air temperature, especially mean of the lowest air temperature (r = 0.508, p < 0.0001) were noted. In addition, parameters of air temperature in January were significantly and positively correlated with years. However, atmospheric pressure (land) and mean velocity were negatively correlated with years. Global warming was also proved at Wakkanai area, especially in winter, in Japan
