Abstract
Background
This study was done to understand the effect of temperature and precipitation in COVID-19.
Objective
To study the effect of temperature and precipitation on transmission of COVID-19.
To study the effect of temperature and precipitation on daily death of COVID-19.
Methodology
We collected 3 consecutive month data of seven cities around the world which were effected most by the COVID-19. Data included weather variables i.e temperature (average temperature, maximum temperature and minimum temperature), precipitation, daily new cases and daily new death.
Conclusion
Increase in average temperature reduces daily death and increase in maximum temperature reduces transmission.

Altogether, our study indicates that, there is a significant association of temperature with transmission of virus and death due to COVID-19.It is imperative to know the association which could be reflected upon local policy making, by considering other environmental as well as endogenous factors which could contribute to this association.
