Factors Driving Mosquito Activity in Tehran

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Tehran. Key contributors include:

Seasonal rainfall patterns, especially during spring
Urban water sources like the Darband streams and irrigation canals
Temperature fluctuations in the Alborz mountain foothills

Mosquitoes thrive in stagnant water, so the city’s irrigation systems and garden ponds can become breeding grounds. Understanding these factors helps locals and travelers anticipate mosquito activity. Learn more about Tehran’s climate impact on insects at the Tehran Environmental Protection Agency.
