Why does it seem like there are fewer mosquitoes this summer?

Source Summary

In recent weeks, there has been a detected decrease in incidents caused by mosquito bites. Although high temperatures favor these insects, the extreme heat that Catalonia has suffered in recent months does not seem to please them much. Unlike mammals, mosquitoes do not have an internal thermal regulation mechanism. This makes them very vulnerable to heat and the dehydration it causes, leading them to seek refuge in vegetation during the day to survive.
