How does weather control the growth and movement of locusts?

Wind movement and speed

Swarms of locusts move constantly with the direction of the wind, and the speed of the wind plays an important role in the speed of its movement from one region to another, and in general, here we are talking about the speed and direction of the winds on the surface of the earth, up to a height of 500 feet, which is the highest height that locusts can reach.

temperature:

Degrees contribute to providing an appropriate environment for locusts to live and reproduce, and the temperature of 26 ° is the preferred and appropriate degree for locusts to move and fly, and swarms usually fly during the day if the temperature exceeds the 26 ° C barrier.

Humidity:

Heavy rains lead to an increase in locusts, as rain provides moist soil to lay locust eggs, which need to absorb water. The rains also help the growth of plants that are food and shelter for locusts, knowing that the dry period reduces the number of locusts.
