Dengue virus is a major global health threat with millions of estimated cases a year. Climate plays a large role in the efficiency of dengue transmission and the survival of the dengue vector Aedes aegypti. This study looked at the role of climate on dengue outbreak intensity in the city of Hermosillo, Mexico. Climatic variables including temperature and precipitation were examined for a relationship with dengue case numbers and mosquito activity. Winter climate in Hermosillo was found to have a relationship with dengue epidemics in the region.
