Weather patterns and occurrence of epileptic seizures.

While monthly seizure distribution only showed a trend toward more patients with seizures in certain months ( p = 0.063, Kruskall-Wallis test), as well as to differences in days with or without seizures in certain months ( p = 0.053, χ 2 test, Fig. 4 ), there was certainly a larger proportion of days with seizure patients in warmer (377/756, 49.87%), than in colder days of the year (353/844, 41.82%), p = 0.001, χ 2 test.

These differences were maintained when observing just the colder part of the year (Nov-Apr, p = 0.038, Kruskall-Wallis test), but failed to reach significance in the warmer part of the year (May-Oct, Kruskall-Wallis test).
