摘要：As human health is affected by many environmental factors, the importance of studying the effect of such factors on some diseases cannot be overemphasized. This paper focuses on the effects of some atmospheric variables such as rainfall, temperature and relative humidity on malaria. Three years data (i.e. 2008-2010) for both the three variables and malaria cases were collected and analyzed using Microsoft excel and the result shows that temperature, relative humidity and rainfall all have a strong correlation with malaria. Therefore, improved personal hygiene, domestic cleanliness, proper ventilation, clean food and water, refuse and drainages evacuation and air-conditioning will all help in maximizing better healthcare delivery.
