3-month lag	0.065	(−0.001, 0.131)	0.052
Rainfall (100 mm)
Concurrent	0.007	(−0.048, 0.063)	0.793
1-month lag	0.047	(−0.110, 0.204)	0.556
2-month lag	0.462	(0.047, 0.878)	0.029
3-month lag	−0.727	(−1.821, 0.368)	0.193

^aGEE regression coefficient (β) was adjusted for all time-lagging effects for minimum temperature and rainfall in the Table.

^bThe proportion of the days with a Breteau index level >2 in a month was used as dengue vector mosquito density index.
