The rate of change of the temperature for Maharashtra is minimum and almost flat (R 2 = 0.05), while as for the Rajasthan and Kashmir region, temperature shows a significant increasing trend, and the average rate of change of the temperature is 0.19 °C and 0.16 °C per day, respectively, during the period of study (Table 1 ). Figure 2 shows the graph representing the daily increase of the new COVID-19 cases and temperature for the three regions during the period of study. We observed that the increasing temperature within the given range observed during the period for Rajasthan and Kashmir sites might provide a beneficial environment for the coronavirus to grow and spread as evident by the increasing trend of the reported COVID-19 cases with the increasing temperature (Fig. 4a, 5a) .	./cache/cord-307496-1k3d3o2q.txt	./txt/cord-307496-1k3d3o2q.txt
