Abstract This study aimed to determine the association between average temperature and humidity with COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh. This study included 9,455 confirmed cases during the observation period (March 08, 2020 to May 03, 2020). The peak spread of COVID-19 occurred at an average temperature of 26 °C. We find, under a linear regression framework, high temperature and high humidity significantly reduce the transmission of COVID-19, respectively. It indicates that the arrival of summer and rainy season in Bangladesh can effectively reduce the transmission of the COVID-19. However, it is unlikely that the COVID-19 pandemic diminishes by summer since Bangladesh still have a high coronavirus transmission. Therefore, other public health interventions such as social distancing are still important for blocking the COVID-19 transmission.

孟加拉国温度、湿度和 COVID-19 爆发之间的关联

摘要 本研究旨在确定平均温度和湿度与孟加拉国 COVID-19 大流行之间的关联。该研究包括观察期内（2020 年 3 月 8 日至 2020 年 5 月 3 日）的 9,455 例确诊病例。COVID-19 的峰值传播发生在平均温度为 26 °C 时。我们发现，在线性回归框架下，高温和高湿分别显着减少了 COVID-19 的传播。这表明孟加拉国夏季和雨季的到来可以有效减少 COVID-19 的传播。但是，由于孟加拉国的冠状病毒传播率仍然很高，因此 COVID-19 大流行不太可能在夏季减少。因此，保持社交距离等其他公共卫生干预措施对于阻止 COVID-19 传播仍然很重要。
