Climatic variables from the best model that had a significant influence on mean overall dynamic body acceleration (ODBA) including a absolute humidity, b weather condition, c temperature, and d time of day. Note that weather condition, classified by cloud cover, was split into five categories as follows: 0 = clear, 1 = scattered clouds, 2 = partly cloudy, 3 = mostly cloudy, 4 = overcast/haze, and 5 = light rain/thunderstorms. Intensity of activity as a function of climatic variable had a slight positive correlation with humidity and ambient temperature recorded. Mean ODBA decreased as time of day progressed from morning until the evening. The effect of clouds and rain did not follow a clear pattern
