Time, Season, Weather, and Suicide (IN: Suicide: The Gamble With Death, by Gene Lester and David Lester)

Suicidologists have tried to test the possibilities for relationships between the occurrence of suicide & temporal or meteorological variables.

Some seasonal variation seems possible, & a relationship to the time of day seems fairly clear. 13 Refs. (LH)
