How is it that the weather is hot and there are few mosquitoes?

In hot weather, there are fewer active mosquitoes. Mosquitoes bite people in summer (sleep in summer), and larvae stop developing or die.

Mosquitoes are very active in the environment of 26℃-35℃, and have no appetite in the environment above 35℃. They will hide in dark corners such as grass, shade, stairs and so on to escape the heat, reduce activities and energy consumption, and wait for the opportunity to come back.

Warm environment, less puddles and more water outside, is not conducive to spawning. At the same time, the optimum temperature of mosquito larvae is 15℃-26℃. When the water temperature exceeds 35℃, eggs and larvae will stop developing and even die.

At the end of summer, the temperature drops, showers appear, and mosquitoes will become active again, so mosquitoes in autumn are very fierce.
