Temperature fluctuations between 18°C to 30°C also affect mosquito lifecycle speed. Additionally, local agricultural practices, such as rice paddies around the valley, contribute to breeding sites. Key influencers include:

Seasonal rainfall intensity
Temperature and humidity levels
Presence of stagnant water like ponds and irrigation channels
