    • Temperature rainfall and humidity have a huge impact on mosquito life cycle. Influence rates of development breeding and mortality. Key role in mosquito borne diseases as transmission of diseases depend on ecology of the mosquito vector 
    • Excess rainfall linked to increased transmission of mosquito borne diseases as it leads to creation of natural water pools and puddles which serve as breeding sites for the mosquitoes
    • Mosquito borne diseases typically affect the tropic, where climate is favourable. 
    • Restriction of mosquito diseases to predominantly tropical areas destined to change because of climate change and global warming→ temperature rising increases mosquito territory and distribution of mosquito borne diseases.
    • Places affected by mosquitoes, climate change cause longer breeding seasons and increased hatch rates of populations. Enlarged population cause higher rates of mosquito borne disease
