The Weather Institute of the Academy of Sciences of Cuba and different institutions from the Ministry of Public Health are really interested in carrying out bioclimatic predictions on diseases of high-frequency appearance in our population such as asthma. This research work presents a kind of methodology which allows us to make such predictions by means of the use of certain exploratory techniques of data and log–linear and logit models. This methodology has been tested with observations given by three pediatric hospitals from Havana City and the convincingly obtained results are discussed in this investigation.
