Weather as a potential cause of regional differences in the dynamics of COVID-19 transmission in Poland: implications for epidemic forecasting.

Introduction: COVID‑19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. Little is known on the impact of weather conditions on the transmission of COVID‑19.

Objectives: We aimed to assess correlations between 6 different meteorologic parameters and the transmission dynamics of the COVID‑19 pandemic in 16 administrative regions (voivodeships) of Poland.

Impact of Meteorological Conditions on the Dynamics of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Poland.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus. The role of environmental factors in COVID-19 transmission is unclear. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between meteorological conditions (temperature, relative humidity, sunshine duration, wind speed) and dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland.
