We further validated our results using a susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered (SEIR) metapopulation model to simulate the changes of daily cases of COVID-19 in China under different temperatures and relative humidity conditions. Other studies, however, came to an opposite conclusion that meteorological factors, such as temperature and relative humidity, were associated with confirmed COVID-19 cases (Byass, 2020; Pani et al., 2020; Runkle et al., 2020) . Finally, to validate the observed associations of meteorological factors with the COVID-19 transmission, we constructed a susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered (SEIR) model ( Figure S1 ) using Chinese data. In this analysis covering 202 locations in 8 countries, meteorological conditions (temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and UV radiation) were not significantly associated with the COVID-19 transmission, suggesting that warmer weather alone seems unlikely to reduce the spread ability of the pandemic.	./cache/cord-314711-c6rqv4zd.txt	./txt/cord-314711-c6rqv4zd.txt
