Suicides In US, Mexico Could Increase Due To Global Warming
Jul 23, 2018 11:00 AM By Sadhana Bharanidharan
After analyzing data regarding temperatures and suicide in the regions, researchers suggested climate change could lead to an increase in suicide rates across the United States and Mexico.
The findings of the new study were published in the journal Nature Climate Change on July 23.
Given the temperatures we are expected to hit by the year 2050, researchers have estimated suicide rates could increase by 1.4 percent in the U.S. and by 2.3 percent in Mexico i.e. an additional 21,000 cases.

Eating 20 Whoppers a day for 10 years can cause the same effect. :tongue2:

In the northern hemisphere, the farther north locations, colder, tend to have higher suicide rates.
It may be more a condition of light-dark.

From what I see, the study ran the correlation against temperature, not season nor cloud cover nor time of day.
