This study focuses on the spatio-temporal distribution of climate exposure, dengue, and leptospirosis from the years 2010-2017. It aimed to describe and analyze any association between climate and the said diseases, as well as forecast the 2018 temporal trends of the climate-related health outcomes. To do so, a 2-part ecological study was done using the CDC’s BRACE framework. Doing so showed a significant relationship between climate indicators and both diseases, and emphasized the need for better climate and health monitoring.
