Abstract

There has long been recognition of how the weather affects human health and happiness. Numerous studies have been conducted on the relationship between weather and other health effects. The purpose of this study is to know the effect of weather on health. Electronic databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, WOS, Scient Direct, Sage Journal, and Emerald), were searched for cohort, case-control and cross-sectional studies published between 2013 and 2023, used “Weather”[Mesh] AND “Health”[Mesh] OR “mortality”[Mesh] OR “age”[Mesh] OR “skin disease”[Mesh] OR “lifestyle”[Mesh] OR “developing country”[Mesh]. The method used is systematic review and meta-analysis. Data were analyzed using CMA. There are effects of weather on health, specifically focusing on parameters such as mortality, age, skin diseases, lifestyle factors, and daily life. Weather can have a significant impact on health, with extreme weather events and climate change posing particular risk. Mitigating climate change is crucial for lowering greenhouse gas emissions, switching to renewable energy sources, and enacting environmentally friendly laws. To safeguard vulnerable people during extreme weather events, public health preparedness must place a high priority on early warning systems and comprehensive solutions. Protecting public health requires both tackling the underlying causes of climate change and developing resistance to its effects.
