description This paper examines the monthly mortality rates related to mean monthly temperatures in Bahia Blanca city, located in the southwestern region of the Buenos Aires province, Argentina. Bahia Blanca is a typical temperate mid-latitude city with a population of 300,000. The 5 year period, 1988 to 1993, was analysed. Mortality data were supplied by the Sanitarian Region I of the Argentine Health and Social Action Service. Mean monthly temperatures for Bahia Blanca were obtained for the same period from a station run by the Argentine Meteorological Service located inside the city. Standard statistical methods were used to examine the meteorological and mortality information. Data indicated that the primary meteorological correlation for the monthly variation in mortality is the outdoor temperature. A correlation was found between the mean monthly temperature and the mortality rates, and the mortality rates appears to be further affected by the individual month temperatures deviations from their respective long-ranging mean.
