The issue considered in the paper was approached on the basis of the daily synoptic maps from the years 1994 and 1995, provided by the Institute of Meteorology and Water Economy, the concentrations of air pollutants in Warsaw (sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, ozone, and dusts in the air), supplied by the Institute of Environmental Protection, as well as the fundamental meteorological elements in Warsaw. Side by side with these data the detailed information on the deaths registered in Warsaw were made use of, as provided by the Central Statistical Office (GUS). In the search for the causes of deaths it is essential to distinguish the meteorotropic situations, mainly the pressure settings - high and low pressure situations, as well as the passages of atmospheric fronts over Warsaw, and the advection of the air masses. A cognitive significance should also be attributed to the identification of the extreme weather and aerosanitary conditions, and other variables (daily trends) in the particular seasons of the year, bringing particularly high hazard levels for the life of the inhabitants of Warsaw. Likewise, it is not without significance for the inhabitants of the capital what are the bioclimatic conditions defined through the scale of thermal sensations. Thus, for instance, the discomfort, resulting from the overheating (during the long-lasting hot weather) or the overcooling (during strong frosts), usually leads to the increase of the number of deaths.
