  1. The table depict the statistics of the prevalent environmental conditions in the states of Maharashtra (MH) and Karnataka (KR) along with 4 cities Mumbai (MUM), Kasaragod (KGD), Srinagar (SRG) and New York (NYK). The environmental factors, i.e. Temperature and Relative Humidity were considered and the ranges of these parameters are coded between −1 to +1, individually of each state and city. −1 represents minimum (Min.) value of the parameter and +1, representing maximum (Max.) value of the parameter, all the environmental factor values between them are linear interpolated.
