  ABSTRACT: In this study, the levels of meteorological parameters like maximum temperature (°F), relative temperature (°F), minimum temperature (°F), humidity (%), dew point (°F), wind speed (mph), rainfall (in), and air pressure (in) were analyzed for all three COVID-19 pandemic waves in the NCT of Delhi, India. After doing statistical analysis, the results showed that only a few parameters, like temperature (maximum, minimum, and relative), dew point, humidity, and air pressure, were linked to the start of COVID-19 pandemic waves, and rainfall had nothing to do with COVID-19 during any of the three waves. So, according to the results of this study, the Indian government should take strict steps to stop the spread of the fourth wave of COVID-19 and any other diseases that can spread in urban areas based on the meteorological conditions.
