This paper undertakes a preliminary study into the temporal recording of road accidents in adverse weather. Monthly police accident data, by county, have been utilised for England and Wales, and weather-related road accident findings compared with the general weather patterns experienced over the British Isles. The results show that seasonal patterns to weather-related road accidents match the occurrence of hazardous conditions, with regional variations to weather patterns identifiable within the accident data.
