Abstract

Weather parameters may have some role in determining the spread of Coronavirus disease 2019. Daily data on COVID-19 from Pune, India were collected from 17th May to 4th July 2020 and analyzed with such parameters. Relative humidity was found to have a positive relationship with the number of daily cases, even after taking a lag period of one week. Further studies may be helpful in understanding such relationships.
