Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Al Mafraq

Several factors impact mosquito prevalence in Al Mafraq. The region's semi-arid climate means that water sources like the seasonal wadis and irrigation channels around the city become breeding grounds after rains. Key influencers include:

Temperature: Warmer months boost mosquito reproduction.
Rainfall: Standing water after rains supports larvae.
Vegetation: Areas with shrubs near the desert outskirts provide shelter.

Understanding these helps locals and travelers reduce exposure by avoiding damp areas during dawn and dusk. For detailed environmental data, visit the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature.
