Effect of a one-week drop in temperature on the number of adult females. A sudden drop in temperature from 25.8 °C (the annual average) to 20 °C is simulated between days 35 and 41 inclusive, under various rainfall regimes: (a) actual daily rainfall, (b) rainfall every day, (c) rainfall every 4 days and (d) rainfall every 10 days. The amount of daily rainfall is adjusted in the periodic regimes so that the annual total is the same across all 4 regimes. Plotted curves correspond to the time course of the number of adult females according to the Skeeter Buster model (red curves) and the AedesBA model (blue curves). All results shown are averages over 20 simulation runs.
