“…It has been established that the timing of the seasonal epidemics results from a combination of physical, physiological, social, and behavioral elements [25][26][27] . Obviously, not all external factors can have the same impact on the human respiratory system as air temperature.…”

The study evaluates the impact of air temperature on the pathogenesis and epidemiology of COVID-19, using the example of the pandemic wave caused by the Omicron strain in Tomsk. The results show that any short-term decrease in daily temperature by more than 3°C has a significant impact on the course of the disease in infected individuals, leading to an increase in severity and symptoms of the disease, and consequently, in the number of hospitalizations with a lag of 1-2 days after exposure. The findings can help healthcare systems and the population develop more effective preventive measures and protect those at greatest risk from serious complications. The study also highlights the potential use of temperature changes to predict hospitalizations, aiding clinics and medical facilities in quickly preparing for an influx of critically ill patients. Further detailed research is required.

The study aimed to assess the relationship between adverse meteorological conditions and the dynamics of morbidity and hospitalizations associated with SARS-CoV-2. The assessment was conducted using data collected from daily weather reports and reports from the COVID-19 Surveillance Center. The results showed that adverse weather conditions, such as high levels of air pollution and low air temperature, were significantly associated with the incidence of COVID-19. These results provide insight into the potential impact of weather conditions, particularly "Black Sky" conditions, on the spread and transmission of COVID-19 in regions with extreme continental climates.
