Factors Driving Mosquito Activity in As-Salt

Several factors influence mosquito populations in As-Salt. The city's elevation at about 880 meters means cooler temperatures than the Jordan Valley, slightly reducing mosquito activity compared to lower areas. However, the presence of water sources like the nearby Wadi Shueib and seasonal rainfall creates breeding grounds. Key influences include:

Temperature and humidity
Standing water from irrigation and rain
Vegetation density around homes

Understanding these can help locals and visitors minimize exposure. For more on local ecology, visit the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature.
